HiSorb

HiSorb™ is an innovative, labour-saving sampling system for the analysis of volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds (VOCs and SVOCs) in liquids and solids by TD–GC–MS. Extending the capability of thermal desorption (TD), HiSorb probes and accessories are ideal for trace-level component characterisation, aroma profiling, quality control and advanced research across a wide range of applications. Who uses HiSorb?

• Existing thermal desorption users wishing to extend their capabilities to extraction from liquids.
• Users of headspace, solid-phase micro-extraction (SPME) or liquid extraction wanting to enhance the characterisation of their samples or obtain complementary information​.

Why use HiSorb?

Time and cost savings

• Robust, easy-to-use probes allow unattended sample preparation and maximum productivity.
• HiSorb is easier and quicker to use than solvent extraction.
• Re-usable probes and tubes minimise the cost per sample.
• The cost of solvent consumption and disposal is eliminated.

Increased sensitivity

• Detection limits are lower than for SPME because of the larger capacity of the PDMS sorbent.
• Cryogen-free pre-concentration by TD prior to automated GC–MS analysis improves sensitivity.

Versatility

• HiSorb probe in headspace vial
• HiSorb can be used for immersive or headspace sampling of liquids and solid samples.

HiSorb is compatible with TD–GC–MS analysis using industry-standard tubes on all leading commercial systems. ​
