Grab-sampler for air sampling. Easy-VOC is a hand-held device that facilitates the rapid ‘grab’ sample collection of small volumes (<500 mL) of air directly onto sorbent tubes without the need for calibrated pumps.Sorbent tubes attach to the end of the Easy-VOC and air/gas is drawn directly onto the tube. Easy-VOC regulates the flow rate independent of the force used to pull the air through.Grab sampling involves collecting v…

Multi-tube sequential sampler. The MTS-32™ is a compact, portable sampler for the unattended sequential sampling of air onto a series of sorbent tubes. Constant-flow pump technology ensures that the same volume of air is collected onto each tube.The MTS-32 is ideal for analysts needing monitor the concentrations of organic vapours in air as they fluctuate over extended time periods.Features: Sequentially samples on up to…

The helium leak detector is a portable, highly sensitive instrument designed to detect helium carrier gas leaks in thermal desorption and GC systems. Gas leaks are indicated with both an indicator lamp display and an audible alarm. The long, flexible probe makes it convenient to detect small and hard-to-reach gas leaks. Using the detector for gases other than helium is easily achieved by changing the polarity setting. The det…

Accurate and repeatable gas flow measurement. Accurate and repeatable gas flow measurement is fundamental to obtaining good results from your thermal desorption-gas chromatograph. The traditional bubble flowmeter, relying as it does on the reaction time of the operator, is a potential source of error.The digital flowmeter eliminates this source of error and makes gas flow easement easier and more accurate. The flowmeter allow…

Package for monitoring benzene and other VOCs at refinery perimeters

Water removal device for use with UNITY™–Air Server-xr™ thermal desorption systems.

The POD Sampler (POcket Diffusive Sampler) is a radial diffusive sampler for volatile organic compounds (VOCs), compatible with analysis by thermal desorption.

Markes’ stainless sorbent tubes are available in two sizes: 3.5” x ¼” (industry-standard), and 4.5” x 6mm (DAAMS). Industry-standard tubes are compatible with Markes, PerkinElmer, Shimadzu, Dani, CDS and Gerstel 3.5+ thermal desorption (TD) systems.

A breakthrough in process analytical technology for production of nanoparticles, biopharmaceuticals and polymers

Unique among its peers, the DynaPro ZetaStar™ performs simultaneous dynamic and static light scattering or dynamic and electrophoretic light scattering (DLS/SLS/ELS) measurements all within one instrument. Measure manually with microcuvettes, or automatically via an autosampler and flow cell. Quickly assess size, polydispersity, zeta potential, charge, particle concentration, molar mass or turbidity for characterization and st…

Reversible Flip Seal—Same Cost, Twice the Lifetime New reversible Flip Seal inlet seals from Restek last twice as long as other inlet seals. Simply use—flip—then use again. The reversible design doubles the number of analyses you get per seal. •Same easy sealing as Dual Vespel® Ring Inlet Seals—no extra washer needed. •Lower leak rate than OEM metal seals. •Maximum transfer of analytes to column, due to highly inert gold or Si…

• Optimized deactivation produces maximum response when analyzing trace levels of acetylene, methyl acetylene, and propadiene. • Stable response factors make this column ideal for process-type applications where recalibration must be minimized. • High loadability reduces peak tailing and improves separations. • Extended temperature range up to 250 °C for fast elution of high molecular weight (HMW) hydrocarbons and accelerated…

A revolutionary new version of Restek’s popular EZGC™ application is now live — it’s easier to use and it’s absolutely free. Just enter your compounds, and this cutting-edge system will recommend not only a GC column, but also the conditions to reliably separate your target analytes. It will even show you a modeled chromatogram! On a PC or Mac, desktop or tablet, the EZGC™ web app can go anywhere and will quickly become your g…

Viva columns are based on a wide pore material we designed for optimal large-molecule separations.In developing Viva silica, we found that although many commercial wide-pore silicas meet the standard 300 Å mean pore size, most have very broad distributions about this mean, with a significant portion of their pore volume falling below 150 Å.This means a large portion of the surface area is unavailable to larger molecules. Viva…
