Merck, 29741-U, Tenax®TA

Tenax® TA is preconditioned stainless steel that is compatible for use with PerkinElmer, Markes, DANI, OI Analytical, and Shimadzu Instrument. It is commonly used as a general adsorbent and efficiently adsorbs many non-polar compounds, such as hydrocarbons, pesticides, or biogenic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) due to its affinity for compounds with a wide range of boiling points from 60 to 300 °C. It is also suitable for thermal desorption of volatiles because of its good thermal stability and hydrophobicity.
