Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

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 6 K/s to thermally desorb at least one analyte from the sample. The desorbed analyte is collected. The analyte can then be analyzed.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A method for analyzing a sample having at least one thermally labile analyte, comprising the steps of: heating the sample at a rate of at least 10 6 K/s, to thermally desorb at least one thermally labile analyte from the sample; collecting the desorbed thermally labile analyte; and analyzing the thermally labile analyte; wherein the heating is by a probe having a resistive heating element; and placing the probe tip into and out of contact with the surface wit…
