Abstract:
A thermal desorption apparatus is configured to detect a substance of interest in a sample, the apparatus comprising: a wand configured to support a swab and a detector comprising an analyser arranged to detect a substance of interest, wherein the wand is configured to couple to the detector such that thermal desorption of a sample from the swab provides a part of the sample to the analyser.

Claim (Index 40):
A thermal desorption apparatus, configured to detect a substance of interest in a sample, the apparatus comprising:\n a wand configured to support a swab, the wand comprising:\n a wand body arranged to enable manipulation of the wand; \n a swab support coupled to the wand body; and \n thermal insulation disposed between the swab support and the wand body so heat provided to a collected sample is thermally insulated from the wand body; \n wherein the swab support is movable relative to the wand from a heating position in which the thermal insulation is provided by a spacing between the wand body and the swab support, to a sample collection position in which the spacing is reduced relative to the heating position, wherein in the sample collection position and the heating position the swab support is attached to the wand body; and, \n a detector comprising an analyser arranged to detect a substance of interest; wherein the wand is configured to couple to the detector such that thermal desorption of the collected sample from the swab provides a part of the collected sample to the analyser.
