With its roots deep in military service, increasingly Camsco products are used in a variety air monitoring applications including EPA method TO-17 and the EU’s *.* in addition to other monitoring methods. Thermal desorption and sorbent tubes are now used regularly in emissions monitoring, research and education, environmental remediation, fragrance and food production, manufacturing and by local first responders.
In one case, Camsco’s ability to custom-manufacture a sorbent tube within hours to a very specific flow rate, kept a chemical weapons destruction facility from being closed because of failure to meet regulatory compliance.
A growing base of clients in this expanding list of industries now rely on the consistent quality of Camsco’s hand-manufactured thermal desorption products.
EPA and other emerging air monitoring Methods
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the EU’s Commission on Environment are continuously updating current methods and developing new methods and application of air monitoring and thermal desorption protocols.
Military, Airport Security and Homeland Security
Already a major part of Camsco’s business, the company is aggressively expanding to meet the growing requirements of escalating security concerns. By increasing its capabilities for the detection and monitoring of industrial chemicals, explosives, and chemical and biological warfare agents Camsco remains committed to support military agencies as they focus on homeland security, both here and abroad. Additionally, Camsco thermal desorption tubes products are helping airports detect traces of solid and liquid explosives, VOCs and chemical agents.
Research and Academia Rely on Thermal Desorption Technology for New Breakthroughs
Camsco’s high quality, precision-manufactured Thermal Desorption Tubes and related monitoring products are used in industry, universities, chemical and pharmaceutical labs and government research centers. Thermal Desorption for air monitoring is quickly becoming the method of choice in a variety of applications. Thermal Desorption exceeds in the ability to extract and isolate volatile and semi-volatile compounds (outdoor, indoor, confined space, workplace, breath, etc.) and is an important quality control tool for the analysis of plastics, packaging materials, pharmaceuticals, foods, flavors, and consumer products. The extremely low detection levels attainable by thermal desorption enhances the identification and detection results of the market-changing applications in development. Fragrance or odor plays a major part in human perception of foods, beverages and other consumer products. Much of the routine industrial quality control and a significant portion of the laboratory and educational research conducted for the food industry is focused on ensuring that products are pleasing to the senses as well as being safe to use. Camsco’s products can ensure that these products are free from both toxic and malodorous compounds.
Thermal Desorption Technology Can Protect First Responders
Camsco products make it safer for first responders such as police, fire departments and hazmat teams to deal with chemical events. Those first responders count on the quality and reliability of Camsco’s innovative products to detect and analyze chemical agents and other hazardous materials.
Leading equipment manufacturers incorporate Camsco products into their thermal desorption systems.
Environmental Monitoring Incorporates Thermal Desorption Technology to Quickly Identify Problems
Vapor-phase organic chemicals (volatile and semi-volatile compounds or VOCs) are present, at varying concentrations, in all of Earth’s atmospheres. Many are toxic and can pose a risk to human health. These VOCs have strictly regulated limit levels and environmental protection agencies and chemical manufacturers rely on Camsco’s Thermal Desorption Tubes and related products to continually monitor emissions.
