Static Headspace-SIFT-MS Method for Screening Paperboard Leachables is >10x Faster than GC-MS
Automated SIFT-MS analysis rapidly screens paperboard packaging for a wide range of functional groups in a single analysis, assuring that the volatile emissions meet manufacturer specifications. This application note describes a Headspace-SIFT-MS method with throughput >10X faster than traditional GC/MS methods.

We asked David Light, CEO and Founder of Valisure, to tell us about his experience using SIFT-MS. He describes how Syft technology enables his organization to investigate real-use scenarios because of its real-time data collection capabilities.
Read MoreRapid Screening of Recycled Packaging Materials by SIFT-MS
Automated headspace-SIFT-MS analysis can classify HDPE at throughputs over 230 samples per day, offering great potential for rapid screening of recycled packaging materials.
Read MoreReal-Time Monitoring of Bioreactor Fermentation Compounds Using SIFT-MS
The ability of SIFT-MS to monitor critical volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by a bioreactor in real-time at low parts-per-billion by volume (ppbV) concentrations is demonstrated. This application note presents the results of a pilot-scale feasibility study conducted over several weeks, demonstrating the utility of SIFT-MS for maximizing production outcomes.
Read MoreSIFT-MS provides rapid analysis of benzene in consumer products
SIFT-MS provides rapid, sensitive, and robust analysis of benzene and other contaminants in a wide array of commercial products. Integration with a headspace autosampler enables rapid screening of hundreds of samples per day. In this study, four commercial personal care product matrices were tested: a crushed tablet, a syrup, a creamy lotion (called ‘lotion’) and an oily lotion.

Process analysis using SIFT-MS enables the solvent drying process to be monitored past the drying end-point measurable using conventional weighing methods.
Read MoreAccelerate formaldehyde screening in PEG excipients using SIFT-MS!
SIFT-MS greatly simplifies formaldehyde detection and quantitation through direct, instantaneous, and sensitive (sub-ppbV) sample ionization, yielding sample throughputs of up to 250+ samples/day.
Read MoreHeadspace-SIFT-MS is 7X Faster Than LC and GC Analysis of MOSH and MOAH Compounds
Comprehensive analysis of Mineral oil hydrocarbons (MOH) is very challenging and time consuming. Headspace-SIFT-MS can screen over 220 samples per day for the volatile fraction – nearly seven-fold more samples than the routine liquid and gas chromatography method.

Read MoreSimple SIFT-MS Analysis of Winchcombe Meteorite
On February 28, 2021 a meteorite struck the town of Winchcombe in Gloucestershire, United Kingdom (UK). SIFT-MS is ideally suited to detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The SIFT-MS method used to analyze the meteorite is described briefly on page 11 of the Science article, with C1 to C6 alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids targeted.
