Sorbent Tubes for PerkinElmer, DANI and Markes Instruments
PerkinElmer,DANI and Markes instruments use sorbent tubes that
are generally considered the “industry standard.” Camsco’s® expansive
in-house manufacturing and glass blowing capabilities provide flexibility
for clients, including the ability to fuse glass frits, centerless
grinding, lapping, annealing and polishing – all with the experience
that comes with having manufactured almost two million thermal desorption
tubes since 1991. Camsco makes stainless steel and glass tubes in
several configurations for all of the PerkinElmer, DANI and Markes
instruments.
Standard Features
Camsco uses only the best raw materials. Our borosilicate-33 glass
tube stock is Schott-Duran and we never use Simax tubing. The steel
used to manufacture these tubes is the highest grade 316L stainless.
Both glass and steel have unique serial numbers and flow direction
arrows are included on fritless glass tubes. The glass tubes have
fused glass frits.
To ensure sample and testing accuracy, we inert coat all internal
metal parts as part of our standard manufacturing process. The inert coated wire
mesh and G-clips are less likely to introduce active
sites and interfere with your analysis.
COGNI™ System
Barcode, serial number, and circumferential band(s) come standard
as part of the COGNI (Camsco’s One Glance and Numeric Identification)
System. The identification marks are permanently embedded on the
tubes offering an inherent advantage over other identification methods.
- Three bands for Tenax TA tubes
- Two bands for Air Toxic tubes
- One band for Carbopack™ B tubes
- No band for other tubes
- Four bands available for customer specified requirements
Custom Features – Stainless Steel
Custom options include inert coatings and conditioned tubes can
be shipped with compression fittings. Cap options include compression
caps (brass, steel and PTFE) and analytical caps (brass and PTFE)
for conditioned tubes.
Custom Features – Borosilicate Glass
Options include fused glass frits, without glass frits and quartz
wool. Tube manufacturing includes centerless grinding, ground ends,
chamfers, lapping, annealing, polishing and fire-polishing.
Capping Options
Compression caps, analytical caps and passive sampling caps are
available. Please refer to the Capping Options insert sheet for more
information.
If compression caps are ordered with conditioned tubes, Camsco
guarantees that each cap is torqued to optimal tightness.
Protective micro caps are provided when no cap option is specified.
