The AutoTDS-V is a high-performance, fully automated thermal desorption sample preparation system engineered specifically for environmental air monitoring and indoor air quality (IAQ) analysis. Seamlessly interfacing with mainstream GC and GC-MS instruments, the system provides automated sequence handling for up to 20 sample tubes (configurable for 10/20/40/50 positions). Equipped with optional ambient or low-temperature secondary refocusing traps, the AutoTDS-V delivers maximum recovery of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), sharp chromatographic peaks, and exceptional measurement repeatability.

Key Features
- Universal GC/GC-MS Integration: Standardized hardware interfaces connect with all major analytical instruments, featuring dual-channel sync output signals to automatically initiate data acquisition.
- Fully Automated Workflow: Software-driven sequence control allows “walk-away” operation. A large color touchscreen displays real-time temperature curves and system status throughout every run.
- Advanced Cold-Trap Refocusing: Combines Peltier (semiconductor) thermoelectric cooling with forced air cooling, paired with direct-resistance rapid heating (>3000 °C/min) for high enrichment efficiency and narrow peak widths.
- Zero-Cold-Spot Heated Path: Independently heated 6-port valve and transfer lines prevent cold spots, eliminating sample condensation, carryover, and memory effects.
- Automated Leak Checking: Performs an automated seal test on each sample tube prior to analysis, protecting valuable samples and ensuring data validity.
- Flexible Modular Options: Supports optional ambient or cryogenic secondary desorption modules to handle both trace-level and high-concentration VOC samples.
