TurboMatrix 300 TD

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) have been identified as a major source of air pollution, and as such, have been regulated as a cause of both primary and secondary pollution, such as photochemistry smog. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) regulates 189 hazardous air pollutants under the Clean Air Act (CAA) of 1990, 51% of which are VOCs. The CAA offers further regulation and guidance for the monitoring of VOCs and ozone pollution in ambient air with a list of 57 ozone-precursor target analytes monitored under U.S. EPA’s Technical Assistance Document for Sampling and Analysis of Ozone Precursors, EPA/600-R-98/161 (1998)1, as well as the requirement of states to establish Photochemical Assessment Monitoring Stations (PAMS). This paper details an application for VOC monitoring with an extended target compound list utilizing a PerkinElmer TurboMatrix^™ 300 TD and PerkinElmer Clarus^® 580 GC. The application note demonstrates results with good repeatability, linearity and detection limits.

For laboratories analyzing everything from air quality to flavors and fragrances, thermal desorption offers a faster, easier, more cost-efficient way to prepare samples for GC or GC/MS analysis. Ideal for the trace-level measurement of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)—as well as most semi-volatile chemicals—thermal desorption lets you avoid time-consuming, manual, solvent-based sample preparation in favor of a simple, streamlined, automated approach. It also delivers the added benefits of superior throughput and enhanced sensitivity.

In the manufacturing of scented candles, there is a need to determine the amount of fragrance as well as the compounds of the fragrance transferred to the candle wax.

Consumables reference guide for the TurboMatrix Headspace. TurboMatrix Headspace and high-sensitivity Headspace Trap samplers provide unparalleled precision and ease of use for numerous GC or GC/MS volatile-analysis applications. The system can manage up to 12 samples simultaneously, ensuring that the next sample is ready for analysis upon completion of the previous run, achieving significant time savings.
