High-Performance Analysis of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) by TD–GC–MS

This study investigates the performance of Markes’ thermal desorption (TD) systems for the analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in air. They describe how sample recollection can be used to conveniently check and validate recovery of high-boiling analytes through Markes’ TD system, therefore enhancing confidence in this fully automated and high-sensitivity alternative to conventional solvent-extraction methods.
