Real-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.

Simple 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.
