CDS Analytical has been a leader in the design and manufacture of laboratory instruments for sample preparation and analysis for more than 30 years. Best known in the field of analytical pyrolysis, CDS has supplied instrumentation for a wide range of additional analyses, including catalyst screening, reaction optimization, organic headspace analysis and environmental testing for water and soil. The first microprocessor controlled purge and trap instrument, the CDS Model 320, was introduced in 1980. This product won awards for significant development in environmental control technology. The Model 330 was designed to include cryogenic options and subsequently, a fourth generation of purge and trap concentrators, the PeakMaster, evolved. CDS Analytical and Dynatherm Analytical Instruments have combined forces adding additional thermal sampling instrumentation to the CDS product line. Dynatherm instruments provide laboratory personnel with the means to collect trace organic chemicals from air, water and soil samples, as well as diverse food products such as coffee, grains, juices, chocolate, flavorings and their packaging materials. The line of Dynatherm instruments provides both manual and automated approaches to thermal desorption. CDS is located in Oxford, Pa.
