Syft Technologies Ltd


We are an award winning company that designs, manufactures and markets solutions for the real-time analysis of VOCs in whole-air.


We trace our origins to the University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand, where many years of research had focused on investigation of interstellar atmospheres. This research applied a series of techniques that eventually evolved into Selected Ion Flow Tube Mass Spectrometry, or SIFT-MS as it is more commonly known.

SIFT-MS is an analytical technology ideally suited to analysis of air samples for volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Its unique multiple reagent ion system delivers results not possible with other real-time techniques. At Syft Technologies we have taken research-based SIFT-MS and developed it into commercially-viable, user friendly analytical instrumentation that provides solutions to a diverse range of applications and markets. We have developed analytical solutions for the following market sectors:

  • Container Air Analysis
  • Food, Flavour and Fragrance
  • Medical Research
  • Environmental
  • Oil and Gas Exploration
