Markes International Symposium: Advances in thermal desorption sampling and analysis

Join us for a one-day technical symposium designed to help you understand how thermal desorption (TD) can be applied effectively within modern GC–MS workflows. We will explore the principles, performance benefits, and practical considerations behind this solvent-free sample introduction approach.
