Supelco^® Carbon Adsorbent Selection Guide

In addition to the tables below that list general guidelines, physical characteristics of Supelco^® carbon adsorbents and adsorbent cross-reference, view the report A Tool for Selecting an Adsorbent for Thermal Desorption Applications, which highlights the relative differences among the most commonly used adsorbents with the help of color-coded performance charts.

General Guidelines for Choosing Supelco^® Carbon Adsorbents

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