Teledyne Tekmar draws on our experience as a leader in low-level VOC analysis with the introduction of a next generation Headspace instrument, the HT3™ Static and Dynamic Headspace System.

Dramatic improvements in sensitivity are achieved with the new Dynamic Headspace option, while maintaining the ruggedness and reliability of a traditional Static Headspace instrument.​

Applications and Industries 

VOC sampling and analysis are used in a wide range of applications in the following industries:

• Pharmaceutical 
  • Residual Solvents
  • Impurities from drug substances 
  • Impurities from container closure systems 
• Flavor, Fragrance, and Packaging
• Petrochemical
• Blood Alcohol and Forensic Toxicology 
• Polymers
• Environmental​

Methods
