Benefits of the Micro-Chamber/Thermal Extractor

• Fast and efficient – The µ-CTE avoids the need for time-consuming sample preparation, and sampling is complete within minutes rather than days.
• Cost-effective – Using the µ-CTE saves time and money by minimising the need for third-party reference tests.
• Wide analyte range – Released volatiles are captured onto sorbent tubes (for VOCs and SVOCs) or DNPH cartridges (for formaldehyde), and all surfaces are inert-coated for compatibility with reactive or thermally labile chemicals.
• Predict the results of reference tests – Data from the µ-CTE has been shown to correlate with longer-term tests carried out using small chambers.
• Method-compliant – The µ-CTE complies with international standard methods ISO 12219-3 (interior air of road vehicles) and ASTM D7706 (rapid screening of VOC emissions from products).
• Sampling versatility – As well as sampling emissions from bulk samples, a range of accessories allows sampling of surfaces or permeation through materials, humidification of air/gas, chamber calibration, and easy cutting of foam samples.
