Gerstel: How V-ITEX Enhances Headspace Analysis
Part 1: Technology Overview – How V-ITEX Enhances Headspace Analysis
In this first webinar of the V-ITEX Webinar Series, Thomas Albinus from GERSTEL and Stefan Cretnik from CTC Analytics provide a focused introduction to the technical principles behind Vacuum In-Tube Extraction.
The session explains how V-ITEX uses controlled vacuum, dynamic sorption, and direct transfer to the GC-MS system to improve the extraction and enrichment of volatile compounds.
Participants will learn how the technique enables gentle VOC extraction from complex and temperature-sensitive samples without heating, while supporting highly reproducible and automated workflows with minimal solvent consumption.
The webinar also highlights key system features, including efficient handling of aqueous samples, integration into common GC-MS platforms, and the analytical advantages of V-ITEX compared with established headspace approaches.
