Analysis of Greenhouse Gases by Gas Chromatography
May 15th 2024This application note demonstrates the use of SCION's 8500GC system for the analysis of key greenhouse gases—carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide—in a single atmospheric air matrix. Highlighting the system's excellent sensitivity and repeatability, this method is crucial for understanding emission sources and combating climate change.
Determination of Limonene in Recycled HDPE Pellets
May 15th 2024This application note showcases the SCION 8300 GC with SQ MS's capability to detect limonene in recycled HDPE pellets, emphasizing its high sensitivity and robustness. The method ensures that the recycled pellets, crucial for manufacturing deodorized food packaging, contain limonene concentrations well below the 20ppm threshold, demonstrating the efficacy of the recycling process.
