PYROPROBE 6000, 6150 Y 6200
CDS Pyrolyzers are much more than a polymer introduction system. Actually the new Pyroprobe 6000 Series are so advanced that they are now considered as thermal injection systems that can tackle the most difficult chromatography sample matrix, whether solid, liquid or gas.
The CDS pyroprobe 6000 Series use a reliable and repeatable platinum filament heating system. The microprocessor in the electronics controls the temperature of the filament by calculating the resistance of the filament at the set point temperature and supplying the correct voltage to achieve that temperature. An incredible maximum heating rate of 20,000C/second is achievable, which assures the most consistent scission of polymers for unmatched quantitative accuracies and repeatability.
CDS pyrolyzers can be used in university, forensic labs, labs, government settings, and more for all your polymer research needs. They are also compatible with all major brands of GCMS including: Agilent, Bruker, PerkinElmer, and Shimadzu.
CDS Pyrolyzers are fully programmable with the widest temperature settings and ramp rates in the industry. With proper accessories and programming, the instruments can be used for Evolved Gas Analysis (EGA), Thermal Desorption, Reactive Gas Pyrolysis, Dynamic Headspace, High-Pressure Pyrolysis, Direct PY-MS, PY-FTIR, and even catalyst testing.
Probes are available in a variety of designs and sizes, including a flat ribbon probe where the sample is directly placed on the platinum for maximum heat transfer, and a coil probe, where samples are inserted into quartz tubes or boats before inserting into the coil filament. Also, we now offer an easy to use "Drop In Sample Chamber" (DISC probe) that eliminates the need to insert the sample tube into the coil probe.
All 6000 series instruments come with a LCD touch screen for local control and a Windows-based operating software package.
The LCD screen allows for local start/stop of the py-GCMS system as well as displays current settings and running temperatures and pressures.
The easy to use Windows software runs on the same PC that is controlling your GC. The system comes with 50 pre-programmed pyrolysis methods so you can quickly be on your way after installation.
The CDS Pyroprobe 6150
The 6150 is the model instrument for pyrolyzing in GC carrier gas only. The 6150 connects to any model GC with a heated sample line for easy on/off installation. A low-mass programmable interface allows for thermal desorption of volatiles before pyrolyzing the sample.

The CDS Pyroprobe 6200
Includes all 6150 functionality plus these Value-Added features:
A built-in analytical trap which enables the instrument to collect analytes using slow rate pyrolysis, use a reactant gas (like oxygen), or perform thermal desorption on sorbent tubes or larger samples. The unique interface design permits direct pyrolysis in carrier gas to the GC inlet, or heating and transfer to the trap, before being introduced to the GC. An optional test tube desorber can be heated up to 300°C for running dynamic headspace experiments on larger samples. Optional external DHS chambers of 130Ml AND 800Ml are also available.
Pyrolysis and interface programming same as 6150.
