"Purge and Trap Gas Chromatography analysis is very sensitive and needs to be handled cautiously to maintain the integrity and confidentiality of the data produced. However, we find it easy and efficient by using Agilent brand not only because of the excellent performance of the instrument but also excellent after sales technical support. As we open the procurement to purchase openly to all brands, Agilent brand performance excellent evaluation results from all aspects show high confidence for users to operate the instrument."

Purge and Trap (P&T) analysis combines high-sensitivity detection of volatile organic compounds (VOC) in water, wastewater, soils, and sludges with low carryover. The P&T instruments from Teledyne Tekmar, a world leader in Purge and Trap Sample Preparation Systems, accommodate many regulatory and standard methods (EPA, ASTM). They are the perfect complement for Agilent GC/MS systems and are available for purchase directly from Agilent.
