Would you like to learn about a new extraction technique that provides a valuable extension to regular solid-phase microextraction? If so, this on-demand webinar will teach you all about the benefits of thin film solid-phase microextraction (TF-SPME) and how it can be applied to different sample types. Application examples in this webinar include environmental, food and beverage.
What does it cover?
This webinar focuses on the use of TF-SPME for the analysis of a variety of sample types. Thin Film Solid- Phase Microextraction (TF-SPME) is an extension of regular SPME. It is simple to use and requires no solvent, yet it is more sensitive than regular SPME due to the increased surface area and phase volume.
The TF-SPME device is a 20 mm x 4.8 mm carbon mesh sheet that is impregnated with a sorptive phase. The TF-SPME devices can be used in headspace or immersive modes. In headspace mode, the TF-SPME device is suspended above a solid or liquid sample in an enclosed vial. In immersive mode, it is placed directly in a liquid sample. In both cases, the sample is agitated by stirring. After extraction, the devices are blotted dry and placed in an empty thermal desorption tube. They are analyzed by thermal desorption GC/MS.
By viewing this on-demand webinar you will learn:
- a new extraction technique and how it can be applied to different sample types
- more about the TF-SPME device and how it can be used in headspace and immersive modes.
