Tekmar Aero Can Trap Desorber

The Tekmar Aero Can Trap Desorber is a high-precision analytical instrument engineered for the thermal desorption of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and trace analytes from sorbent tubes or canisters. Built for laboratories focused on environmental monitoring, industrial hygiene, and regulatory testing, it plays a critical role in preparing samples for gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). By delivering consistent desorption conditions and stable analyte transfer, it ensures laboratories achieve reliable results for complex trace analysis.

At HiTechTrader, we provide laboratories with affordable access to advanced systems like the Tekmar Aero Can Trap Desorber through pre-owned and refurbished units. Each desorber is fully serviced, tested, and verified to deliver the same reproducibility and performance as a new instrument, at a fraction of the cost. Designed with controlled heating, moisture-purge capability, flexible injection pathways, and compatibility with Tekmar autosamplers, this system streamlines workflows while maintaining analytical accuracy. Whether used for regulatory compliance testing, workplace exposure studies, or indoor air quality assessments, it offers researchers and technicians a proven, dependable solution for trace VOC preparation.
