San Antonio, Texas – May 22, 2026 – Nutech Instruments successfully participated in the TCEQ Environmental Trade Fair & Conference 2026, held from May 19 to 20, 2026 at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas.
As one of the key environmental events in Texas, the TCEQ Environmental Trade Fair & Conference brings together environmental professionals, regulatory experts, laboratories, consultants, and technology providers to exchange knowledge on environmental compliance, permitting, air monitoring, waste management, and emerging regulatory requirements.
At Booth 862, Nutech Instruments presented its latest innovations in VOC and PFAS-related air analysis, including the newly launched 8910CF Cryogen-Free Preconcentrator and integrated analytical solutions for U.S. EPA Method 327 and EPA OTM-50.
Highlight: 8910CF Cryogen-Free Preconcentrator
One of the key highlights at the booth was the live display of the Nutech 8910CF Cryogen-Free Preconcentrator. Designed for canister-based VOC analysis, the 8910CF provides laboratories with a practical alternative to traditional liquid-nitrogen-based preconcentration systems.
By eliminating the need for liquid nitrogen, the 8910CF helps laboratories simplify daily operation, reduce dependence on cryogenic supply, and improve workflow stability in routine VOC analysis. The system is especially suitable for laboratories seeking a more convenient and sustainable approach to trace-level VOC sample preparation.
Visitors showed strong interest in how the 8910CF supports modern air analysis workflows, including sample preconcentration, moisture management, analyte focusing, and GC/MS transfer for demanding environmental applications.
Supporting EPA Method 327 Applications
Nutech also presented its solution for U.S. EPA Method 327, which focuses on the measurement of selected volatile organic hazardous air pollutants from fugitive and area sources using specially prepared canisters and GC/MS analysis. The method is particularly relevant for compounds such as ethylene oxide and vinyl chloride, where accurate canister sampling, preconcentration, and trace-level GC/MS analysis are critical.
With long-standing expertise in canister-based VOC analysis, Nutech provides the key components required for Method 327 workflows, including canister sampling, canister cleaning, calibration gas preparation, sample preconcentration, and GC/MS-compatible sample introduction.
Expanding Solutions for EPA OTM-50
In addition to VOC applications, Nutech showcased its analytical solution for EPA OTM-50, a performance-based method for the sampling and analysis of volatile fluorinated compounds from stationary sources using passivated canisters and GC/MS.
As interest in PFAS-related air emissions continues to grow, OTM-50 is becoming an important method for evaluating volatile fluorinated compounds from industrial stacks, vents, and other stationary source applications. Nutech’s solution is designed to support the complete workflow, from sampling and canister handling to sample preparation and instrumental analysis.
Complete Air Analysis Workflow from Sampling to Analysis
At TCEQ 2026, Nutech emphasized its complete approach to VOC and PFAS-related air monitoring. Beyond the 8910CF preconcentrator, the company offers a full portfolio of instruments and accessories for canister-based analysis, including:
- Canister cleaning systems
- Precision static dilutors
- Autosamplers for canister analysis
- Air sampling canisters
- Portable VOC monitoring instruments
- Online continuous VOC monitoring solutions
This integrated product portfolio allows laboratories and environmental professionals to build complete workflows for ambient air, fenceline monitoring, source testing, industrial emissions, and compliance-driven analytical projects.
Strengthening Nutech’s Presence in the U.S. Environmental Market
Nutech’s participation in TCEQ 2026 reflects the company’s continued commitment to the U.S. environmental monitoring market. Through direct interaction with customers, consultants, laboratories, and industry professionals, Nutech gained valuable feedback on current analytical challenges and future method-driven requirements.
The exhibition also provided an important opportunity to demonstrate Nutech’s practical application expertise in VOC analysis, cryogen-free preconcentration, Method 327, and OTM-50 workflows.
Nutech Instruments will continue to develop reliable, application-focused solutions that help laboratories and environmental professionals generate high-quality data for today’s evolving air monitoring requirements.
