Markes International Series 2 ULTRA TD Thermal Desorption Autosampler
High-Capacity Multi-Tube Automation for VOC/SVOC Analysis in TD-GC/MS Workflows
The Markes International Series 2 ULTRA TD Thermal Desorption Autosampler is a high-capacity automation module developed to streamline thermal desorption workflows for GC and GC‑MS analysis of volatile and semi‑volatile organic compounds (VOCs and SVOCs). It enables laboratories to increase productivity by automating the handling and processing of sorbent tubes in demanding analytical environments.
This autosampler is designed to work in conjunction with Markes UNITY thermal desorption systems, adding fully automated multi-tube capability to what would otherwise be single-tube analysis. With the ability to manage up to 100 sample tubes in a single sequence, it allows extended unattended operation, making it ideal for overnight runs or high-throughput laboratories.
Samples are loaded into organized trays and transferred using a precision-controlled mechanical system that positions each tube into the desorption oven with minimal movement, reducing wear and ensuring consistent sample handling. Once desorption occurs, analytes are transferred through a heated inert pathway to the analytical system, helping preserve compound integrity during analysis. To maintain data quality, the system uses specialized sealing caps that limit diffusion and prevent contamination or loss of volatile compounds both before and after analysis. These caps allow gas flow when needed, without requiring removal, simplifying automation while maintaining sample integrity.
The Series 2 ULTRA also enhances traceability and quality control through optional RFID-based tube identification, enabling users to track each sample throughout the analytical process. Additional workflow improvements include automated tube conditioning steps such as dry purging, which helps minimize moisture interference, and the capability to introduce internal standards to support method accuracy and regulatory compliance. For laboratories that require validation or repeatability, the system includes functionality for quantitative sample recollection, allowing previously analyzed samples to be captured and reanalyzed under controlled conditions. This feature is especially valuable for confirming results or refining analytical methods.
This brand new, open box Autosampler has been fully tested and verified to be in proper working condition by Alliant Scientific
