Teledyne Tekmar Stratum Purge & Trap with TekLINK Software and PC
Web Information The Stratum Purge and Trap Concentrator (PTC) is a sample preparation instrument used to remove Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) out of aqueous and solid sample types using Helium or Nitrogen. The VOCs are deposited onto a sorbent trap which is then heated thus releasing the VOCs into a Gas Chromatograph (GC) system. This technique is standard for many EPA Methodologies as well as analytical options where concentration of VOCs is required. Teledyne Tekmar has been the leader in this technology since its first PTC was released in the 1980s. Tekmar​ has continued to improve on this technique through eight generations of systems including the Stratum PTC to meet the ever increasing analytical challenges faced by laboratories.Applications and Industries:VOC sampling and analysis are used in a wide range of applications in the following industries: Environmental Food and Beverage Forensics and Toxicology Pharmaceutical Petrochemical Methods:There are a wide array of metho
