Description
Using the temperature programming capability of the PM 1 and the TDS, samples can be thermally desorbed prior to pyrolysis, in order to remove interfering volatiles and get a cleaner pyrolysis GC/MS analysis. This means that more and better information can be obtained from a single sample. First a Thermal Desorption GC/MS run is performed in order to get information on residual monomers and/or solvents in the sample. Secondly, the pyrolysis GC/MS analysis is performed with best possible results.
The TDS can be converted from pyrolysis to thermal desorption analysis in just a few minutes.
The GERSTEL Pyrolysis Module (PM 1) is easily and conveniently controlled from the MAESTRO Software – stand alone or through the Agilent Technologies ChemStation software.
