Exhibition floor at PittconMarkes will be launching the newest version of its successful Centri® multi-mode sample automation and concentration platform for GC–MS. It will also be launching two new thermal desorption instruments specifically for the chemical warfare agent market – TD100-xr DAAMS, an automated thermal desorption unit accommodating DAAMS (Depot Area Air Monitoring System) tubes, and a thermal desorption autosampler for DAAMS tubes, which adds to the company’s popular UNITY-xr thermal desorption instrument. Markes will also be exhibiting the newest additions to its supplies range of products.

SepSolve Analytical has built an international reputation for being a leading supplier, providing product and application packages to GC analysts, which extract maximum analytical data and deliver faster throughput for both research and routine GC applications.

Addressing the whole workflow process, from sampling to detection, SepSolve provides instrumentation, accessories and know-how for every step of the process, and packages are tailored to meet individual laboratories’ needs.

Its wide range of options include sample preparation equipment (liquid injection, headspace, SPME and large-volume injection), robotic autosamplers, thermal desorption instruments, GC×GC technology (including the INSIGHT® flow modulator), the BenchTOF™ range of time-of-flight mass spectrometers with groundbreaking Tandem Ionisation® (simultaneous hard- and soft-ionisation technology) and the powerful ChromSpace® software package.
