Tenax TA is a traditional sorbent (porous polymer) for trapping medium to high boiling compounds; it is especially useful for low concentrations because of its low background. Tenax TA is hydrophobic and is suitable for use in EPA Method TO-17 or IP-1B and other thermal desorption applications.
Tenax GR is a Tenax/graphite composite which extends the range of Tenax to lower boiling compounds. It retains the ability of Tenax to be cleaned easily to a very low background and is widely used in thermal desorption applications.
