What Does TDMS Stand For?

TDMS stands for Thermal Desorption Mass Spectrometry

TDMS, or Thermal Desorption Mass Spectrometry, is an analytical technique that combines thermal desorption with mass spectrometry to identify and quantify volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds from various samples. In TDMS, samples are heated to release target analytes, which are then transferred into a mass spectrometer for precise mass-to-charge ratio analysis. This method is widely used in environmental monitoring, forensic science, and materials analysis, providing sensitive and specific detection of complex mixtures in a range of applications.
