Markes’ new TD100-xr DAAMS and UNITY–ULTRA-xr™ DAAMS systems are high-throughput, automated thermal desorption instruments for streamlined analysis of 4½″ Depot Area Air Monitoring Systems (DAAMS) tubes.
Markes’ TD100-xr DAAMS and UNITY–ULTRA-xr™ DAAMS are ideal for laboratories needing to analyse chemical agents for homeland security applications using 4½″ tubes, with versatile upgrade options, including for regular 3½″ tubes.
The new DAAMS systems are based on Markes’ tried-and-tested ‘xr’ systems, which include the latest generation of cryogen-free trapping technology.
Benefits
Enhanced throughput – Capacity for up to 100 × 4½" tubes and the ability to use overlap mode allow you to maximise productivity (for example, by running samples unattended all weekend).
Peace of mind – Quantitative sample re-collection for repeat analysis allows simple method/data validation, overcomes the ‘one-shot’ limitation of other systems and enables sample archiving.
Broad analyte range – Short, ultra-inert flow path ensures compatibility with a wide range of chemical agents and other analytes from C3 to C44.
Low running costs – Rapid operation of the electrically-cooled focusing trap eliminates the cost of expensive and hazardous cryogen, and the associated risk of ice blockage of the flow path.
Secure, reliable analysis – DiffLok caps eliminate the possibility of sample contamination and/or analyte loss, whilst removing the need to uncap samples.
Simplified chain of custody – The on-board TubeTAG read/write functionality automatically updates tube and sample information during analysis.
