In addition to the general guidelines presented in the tables below view the technical report titled “A Tool for Selecting an Adsorbent for Thermal Desorption Applications”, which highlights the relative differences between the most commonly used adsorbents with the help of color-coded performance charts.

General Guidelines for Choosing Carbon Adsorbents

For multi-bed tubes, use the weaker adsorbent in front of the stronger adsorbent. For example, use Carbopack™ C in front of Carbopack B.
