Our Laboratory equipment is available for the analysis of samples for potential customers of our thermal desorption systems or for other organizations on a limited basis who have need of our analytical services. You are welcome to visit our facilities for a demonstration of the Short Path Thermal Desorption System. We would be happy to analyze a few samples for you to demonstrate the applicability of the system.
In the event that you cannot visit our facilities in Ringoes, New Jersey, we can also analyze several samples which you can send in to us in order to determine the feasibility of the Short Path Thermal Desorption System for your application.
For customers who are not planning to purchase a thermal desorption system, but who have need of our services, we can perform analysis utilizing the Short Path Thermal Desorption (SPTD) in conjunction with a Gas Chromatograph (GC) and Mass Spectrometer (MS) in our laboratories. These services are limited to the time and instruments available. Our basic rate for this service is $150.00 per hour which includes instrument analysis time, report preparation and if required interpretation of the results. Our laboratories are instrumental labs, with limited solvent extraction capabilities. Therefore we request that if sample extraction is required, the customer perform this sample preparation before samples are submitted. For the techniques of purge and trap, thermal extraction and direct solid sampling SIS will prepare these samples utilizing the systems described below.
Mass Spectrometers - SIS presently has 3 GC/MS Systems in our application and development laboratory. These instruments are utilized for new product development, application development, customer sample analysis, customer demos and our own research and development.
A. Hewlett Packard Model 5989A Mass Spectrometer (HP Engine), EI, CI and Negative CI capabilities. Interfaced to a H.P. Model 5890 Series II GC with EPC Control. (purchased 6/93)
B. Hewlett Packard Model 5971 MSD Mass Spectrometer (HP MSD) with HP Model 5890 Series II GC, EPC controlled. (purchased 7/92)
C. Hewlett Packard Model 5971 MSD Mass Spectrometer (HP MSD) with HP Model 5890 Series II GC, (purchased 6/91)
Gas Chromatographs - In addition to the three GC's described above , we have a Varian Model 3400 GC with FID Detector and an SRI portable GC. These GC,s are mainly used at present to do breakthrough volume work.
Thermal Desorption Systems - At any one time we have 2 or three of the SIS Short Path Thermal Desorption systems up and operating in our laboratory.
Sample Collection Accessories - In our labs we have a wide variety of systems for the collection of samples for use with the Short Path Thermal Desorption Systems. Included are the following:
SIS Technical Staff - At SIS we have a staff of well trained and knowledgeable people on mass spectrometry, gas chromatography and thermal desorption. Our staff and their areas of expertise are listed below:
