Title: High heating rate thermal desorption for molecular surface sampling

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1244232

A method for analyzing a sample having at least one analyte includes the step of heating the sample at a rate of at least 10.sup.6 K/s to thermally desorb at least one analyte from the sample. The desorbed analyte is collected. The analyte can then be analyzed.
