Simplify Volatiles: 4-part webinar series

Testing laboratories frequently face sample preparation and throughput challenges for volatile organic compound (VOC) analyses – especially for reactive and polar species of low molecular weight – when using conventional chromatographic methods. Adoption of newer direct mass spectrometry (DMS) techniques can resolve these issues.

This four-part webinar series demonstrates how amenable the leading automated DMS technique, selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS), is to routine analysis. In this series, we will:

• Introduce the SIFT-MS technique, its automation, and the general benefits that its adoption confers for testing laboratories
• Describe how routine analytical techniques – such as sample scheduling, automated calibration and the use of standard additions – can be applied to SIFT-MS
• Share two detailed case studies that demonstrate successful application of standard method development validation procedures to SIFT-MS
• Illustrate, using case studies, how SIFT-MS simplifies analysis of important chromatographically challenging volatiles, such as formaldehyde, volatile fatty acids, organosulfur compounds and amines
