PCA - Model EDU Series -Enrichment & Desorption Unit

• EDU3 is used as a support for PEN3 e-nose. It is highly recommended for readings on low emission products or with high concentrations of alcohol. 
• EDU3-GC is the thermal desorber dedicated to traditional gas-chromatographic systems such as GC, GC-MS and/or PTR-MS.
• EDU3-GD is to be coupled with gas-chromatographic portable systems (Micro-GC).

The Instruments Division of our company is committed in saling worldwide products for Environmental Air monitoring, Quality control and Safety. We support clients through our sale offices located in the major italian cities, and we provide trainings for users.

EDU3 is a fully-automated enrichment and thermal desorption unit, which is used for air analysis or for sample preparation. EDU3 allows it to concentrate substances or perform a selection from certain substances for subsequent analysis.

The stand-alone instrument moves through the cycles themselves. With the software side access to the analysis parameters, the selectivity and sensitivity can be influenced. Also, by the selection of the adsorbent, the collection and desorption to the problem and the target substance to be adjusted. Thus, enrichment factor between 10 and 1000 are achieved.

Due to its internal flow path system, the device can be easily connected to different detectors. It can be used as a stand-alone unit or in combination with a headspace sampler. Special versions are available which are compatible with common laboratory GCs, Micro-GCs and mass spectrometers available.
