Micro-Chamber/Thermal Extractor now offers extended capabilities due to the availability of a humidifier accessory. Designed for trace organic analysis, the micro-chamber/thermal extractor rapidly samples volatile organic vapours released from everyday products such as toys, car trim and construction materials, or odour profiles from foods and cosmetics. The new humidifier accessory supplies the instrument with air or gas at up to 50% relative humidity. This means that chemical emission profiles can be obtained under conditions that are a better match for real-life scenarios. This is important because the rate of release of some compounds is significantly affected by humidity. Markes International
