Purge and Trap

Product Information

Purge and Trap (P&T) analysis combines high-sensitivity detection of volatile organic compounds (VOC) in water, wastewater, soils, and sludges with low carryover.The P&T instruments from Teledyne Tekmar, a world leader in Purge and Trap Sample Preparation Systems, accommodate many regulatory and standard methods (EPA, ASTM). They are the perfect complement for Agilent GC/MS systems and are available for purchase directly from Agilent.

More Information
