ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for preconcentrating trace amounts of organic vapors in a sample of air for subsequent detection, comprising a metallic substrate; a thin film of fullerenes deposited on the metallic substrate for adsorbing the organic vapors on the thin film of fullerenes, thereby preconcentrating the organic vapors; and apparatus for heating the metallic substrate to a predetermined optimum temperature for desorbing the vapors from the thin film of fullerenes to form desorbed organic vapors for subsequent detection.
