Abstract
An exemplary analysis system may include a fractionization device configured to separate a sample into various molecules that may be introduced to a sampling chamber having a molecule collector disposed therein. The molecule detector may be configured such that molecules of interest produced during fractionization adhere to the molecule collector. A heating element may introduce heat within the sampling chamber, causing release of at least a portion of the molecules adhered to the molecule collector. An analysis device (e.g., a mass spectrometer, a terahertz (THz) spectrometer, etc.) may detect the presence of the one or more molecules of interest from among molecules produced during the fractionization and generate an output representative of the identified molecule(s) of interest. The output may include information that quantitates a concentration of the molecule(s) of interest within sample.
