Overview:

Markes MTS-32 is a portable, mains or battery powered sampler that can capture sequential environmental air samples for use with thermal desorption tubes. It enables concentrations of organic vapours in air to be monitored over extended periods of time.

Environmental air is pumped directly on to each of the tubes at regular intervals over the course of a set period. The samples can then be analysed on the Gas Chromatography – Time of Flight – Mass Spectrometer (GC-TOF-MS). Up to 32 tubes can be sampled, with the ability to change the sampling period for the tubes from minutes to days.

Applications:

Environmental monitoring; Agricultural
