Separation Science, in collaboration with Syft Technologies, is offering a series of on-demand presentations covering the fundamentals, methods and applications of selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS). The presentations include:
SIFT-MS: Rapid, Selective Trace Gas and Headspace Analysis
Presenters: Mark Perkins (Anatune, UK) and Vaughan Langford (Syft Technologies, New Zealand)
Outline: The presentation examines how application of SIFT-MS can deliver competitive advantage in the contract laboratory because of high sample throughput and its ability to analyse chromatographically challenging species. It also demonstrates how direct gas analysis opens new research and on-line monitoring opportunities.
Next-Generation Automotive Material and Tailpipe Emissions Analysis: SIFT-MS
Presenters: Vaughan Langford and Christopher Nones (Syft Technologies, New Zealand)
Outline: This webinar introduces Selected Ion Flow Tube Mass Spectrometry (SIFT-MS) – an innovative, industry-proven analytical technique that directly and instantly analyzes air down to part-per-trillion (ppt) concentrations. By applying eight rapidly switchable chemical ionization agents, SIFT-MS instruments selectively and quantitatively analyze a very diverse range of compounds in a single analysis.
Enhanced Cleanroom Air Quality Monitoring for Airborne Molecular Contaminants Using SIFT-MS
Presenters: Vaughan Langford and Yatin Mange (Syft Technologies, New Zealand)
Outline: This presentation will introduce the SIFT-MS technique, compare performance with other detection technologies, and describe its application to AMC monitoring – from the front-opening unified pod (FOUP) to the cleanroom.
Quantitative Odour Monitoring: Source to Fenceline Analysis Using Direct MS
Presenters: Vaughan Langford and James Olerenshaw (Syft Technologies, New Zealand)
Outline: This presentation will provide a variety of SIFT-MS-based odour monitoring applications, including odour source characterisation, continuous odour monitoring and evaluation of odour mitigation technologies.
High-Throughput Volatile Compound Analysis for the Testing Laboratory Using Direct MS
Presenters: Mark Perkins (Anatune Ltd, UK) and Vaughan Langford (Syft Technologies, New Zealand)
Outline: This presentation will demonstrate how SIFT-MS automation speeds routine analyses by up to 25-fold. Applications include aldehyde analysis in air and headspace, residual solvent analysis in packaging and pharmaceuticals, and residual monomer analysis in polymers.
Rapid Volatile Impurity Analysis in Pharmaceutical Products Using Direct MS
Presenters: Mark Perkins (Anatune Ltd, UK) and Vaughan Langford (Syft Technologies, New Zealand)
Outline: Direct, broad-spectrum analysis using SIFT-MS provides new opportunities across multiple pharmaceutical applications, including simple formaldehyde analysis, residual solvent analysis, and packaging screening, including residual monomer analysis
High-Throughput Aroma Analysis of Food Products
Using Direct MS
Presenters: Diandree Padayachee (Syft Technologies, Christchurch, New Zealand) and Vaughan Langford (Syft Technologies, New Zealand)
Outline: This webinar that will explain how the SIFT-MS technique can be used, with or without automation, and present a variety of automated food and aroma applications, including varietal and origin authentication, objective sensory screening, packaging testing, and process quality assurance applications.
Real-Time, High-Sensitivity Food and Flavor Analysis Using Direct MS
Presenters: Sheryl Barringer (Ohio State University, USA) Vaughan Langford (Syft Technologies, New Zealand)
Outline: This on-demand webinar introduces selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS) – a recent introduction to the flavor chemist’s and new product developer’s analytical tool kit. SIFT-MS analyses chemically diverse flavor compounds in real-time, including amines, organosulfur compounds, and volatile fatty acids.
Real-Time Monitoring of Volatile Compounds in the Workplace Using Direct MS
Presenters: Vaughan Langford and William Kerr (Syft Technologies, New Zealand)
Outline: This on-demand webinar introduces Selected Ion Flow Tube Mass Spectrometry (SIFT-MS) – an innovative and industry-proven analytical technique that directly, instantly and comprehensively analyzes air to part-per-trillion (ppt) concentrations (by volume). Various workplace and indoor air quality applications of SIFT-MS will be presented, including analysis of fumigation chemicals in shipping containers, multiple-point indoor air quality monitoring, and high-throughput laboratory applications.
