Carbon Adsorbent Sampler Kits

Carbon AdsorbentsOften choosing the right adsorbent or combination of adsorbents can be difficult. The goal in selecting the proper adsorbent is to choose one or more that can retain a specific analyte, or group of analytes, for a specific application. However, equally important is that the adsorbent(s) must also be able to release the analyte(s) during the desorption process. By using one of our Carbon Adsorbent Sampler Kits, the method developer obtains a cost-effective way to evaluate several of our specialty carbon adsorbents (Carbotrap™, Carbopack™, Carboxen™, and/or Carbosieve™) when designing adsorbent-based applications and products.

Three convenient kits are offered that cover a wide range of our specialty carbon materials.

  • 20/40 Graphitized Carbon Black Kit contains 5 g each of five GCB materials, all in 20/40 mesh (Carbotrap B, Carbotrap C, Carbotrap F, Carbotrap X, and Carbotrap Y).
  • 60/80 Graphitized Carbon Black Kit contains 5 g each of six GCB materials, all in 60/80 mesh (Carbopack B, Carbopack C, Carbopack F, Carbopack X, Carbopack Y, and Carbopack Z).
  • Carbon Molecular Sieve Kit contains 5 g each of nine CMS materials (20/45 Carboxen 569, 60/80 Carboxen 1000, 40/60 Carboxen 1003, 80/120 Carboxen 1012, 60/80 Carboxen 1016, 60/80 Carboxen 1018, 60/80 Carboxen 1021, 60/80 Carbosieve G, and 60/80 Carbosieve S-III).

  1. While these carbon materials are stable to above 400 °C, the temperature actually used at depends on the application. For example, thermal desorption unit (TDU) tubes are typically desorbed at 330 °C, purge traps containing just our specialty carbons typically use a 250 °C desorption temperature, and GC column applications may work best with final oven temperatures of 225 °C.
