Camsco Thermal Desorption Products:
Frequently Asked Questions.
Who is Camsco?
Camsco is the largest independent thermal desorption tube manufacturer in the world. In the past two decades, we have successfully delivered more than two million tubes for a wide range of monitoring and measurement applications.

Why isn’t Camsco more broadly known?
In the past, Camsco has supplied thermal desorption tubes almost exclusively to US and allied defense departments and intelligence services – a focus that has minimized the exposure of the company name and reputation to broad commercial segments around the world. In 2008, Camsco began actively promoting commercial products outside the military.
Today, we serve customers in a host of different locations, with a broad range of applications that include environmental monitoring, occupational safety and health, industrial hygiene, residual volatiles, materials emissions, food, flavor and fragrance, transportation safety, detector research and forensics.

How does the quality of Camsco thermal desorption products compare with instrument manufacturers or other resellers?
We are the best TD tube manufacturer in the world.
For almost two decades, the US military has trusted Camsco reliability on the front line of battlefields – in addition to chemical weapon depots and destruction facilities.
All materials are inspected to ensure the highest possible quality, from the German borosilicate glass and quartz and U.S. stainless steel 316L to the virgin FTPE. All processes and procedures are consistently checked by on-staff scientists and tubes are hand-made in the US by qualified artisans with many years of experience. We are AS 9100, ISO 9001-2008 and NATO AQAP-110 certified and maintain a stringent quality control process.
Unlike instrument manufacturers who make tubes as a byproduct, we are completely focused on TD tubes and TD related consumables. As the leading single-source tuber manufacturer, you can rely on our commitments to quality control, customer support and supply reliability.
Finally, we gladly share expert advice on every facet of our core business. While other companies view tubes as a small part of the thermal desorption solution, at Camsco it is our sole focus.

How does the price of Camsco products compare with other suppliers?
Because Camsco is the world’s largest thermal desorption tube-maker, we generate exceptional economies of scale allowing us to offer higher quality tubes at lower prices than competitors. At the same time, because we only manufacture tubes, there are no bundled packages with inflated prices. Affordability is a key factor in maintaining our long client relationships.
And there is our sole focus on tube technology and quality – it adds additional value to the product, not additional cost.

Why should thermal desorption tubes be purchased from Camsco instead of from instrument manufacturers?
We offer higher-quality tubes at lower prices – even for standard tubes. We guarantee complete compatibility with today’s instrument manufacturers. We guarantee 100% satisfaction. And when you pick up the telephone and call Camsco, you will always be able to talk with someone who understands your needs. We know tubes inside and out.

Can Camsco make custom tubes to meet specific needs?
We regularly produce customized tubes for clients. We are able to fast-track a special order: Take it, prototype the tube, manufacture the tubes within a day, and schedule fast delivery.

Can a sample tube be tested before committing to a large order?
Camsco ships free samples to clients all the time. Once customers evaluate the quality and performance of the tubes we manufacture – and experience our great customer service – they are immediately sold on the Camsco brand.
Just let us know which tube or product you wish to test (see contact information below) and we’ll be glad to work with you.
