ATOMX - A New New Purge & Trap Concentrator from Teledyne Tekmar

ATOMX represents the latest in VOC instrumentation from TeledyneTekmar. Atomx is an Automated Sample Prep System that combines an autosampler and purge and trap concentrator into a single instrument, for the analysis of VOCs in soils and waters. ATOMX is the first of its kind and only system to offer automated methanol extraction for the analysis of soils containing high levels of VOCs in accordance with USEPA Method 5035.  

Unique to the ATOMX is Extractasol clean-up (patent pending). This reduces the carryover and cross contamination between samples often associated with water or soil samples that contain high-levels VOCs .

Three new independent injection systems for internal standards, surrogates, and matrix spikes provide the ability to select variable volumes without wasting expensive standards.

The Atomx features a sample carousel capable of holding 80-vials to maximise the number of samples that can be run each day. Tekmar are the clear leader in purge and trap technology and this system offers unique sample preparation features that yeild benefits other instuments cannot match.
