Application Notes: General
Essential Techniques for Developing Robust Bioanalytical Methods
September 10th 2024Webinar: Review of the fundamentals of common sample prep techniques, such as protein precipitation, liquid-liquid and supported liquid extraction, and solid-phase extraction, breaking down their mechanisms of action and highlighting strategies for choosing the best technique to use in bioanalysis.
Real-Time Measurement of EPA Regulated HON Compounds and Environmental Pollutants Using SIFT-MS
September 6th 2024This application note describes the determination of method detection limits (MDLs) for the newly regulated HON (Hazardous Organic NESHAP) compounds, which validate SIFT-MS as an effective solution for measuring these toxic VOCs and other environmental pollutants in ambient air, whether at the fence line or in a mobile setting.
High-Throughput Analysis of Volatile Compounds in Air, Water, and Soil Using SIFT-MS (Sept 2024)
September 6th 2024This study demonstrates high-throughput analysis of BTEX compounds from several matrices (air, water and soil). Detection limits in the single-digit part-per-billion concentration range (by volume) are readily achievable within seconds using SIFT-MS, because sample analysis is achieved without chromatography, pre-concentration, or drying. We also present a calibration approach that enables speciation of ethylbenzene from the xylenes in real-time.
Real-Time Roadside Monitoring of Unreported VOC Emissions from Road Transport by SIFT-MS (Sept 2024)
September 6th 2024This application note summarizes key SIFT-MS results presented in a peer reviewed article entitled “Unreported VOC Emissions from Road Transport Including from Electric Vehicles.” Learn how the Wolfson Atmospheric Chemistry Laboratory at the University of York used SIFT-MS for VOC analysis in its platform to experimentally verify that motor vehicle screen wash is a significant unreported source of VOC emissions (especially for ethanol and methanol).
SyftEnviro Environmental Monitoring Software
September 6th 2024This brochure SyftEnviro environmental monitoring software which is a comprehensive solution for visualizing data from mobile monitoring campaigns. It provides a user-friendly interface for collecting, mapping, and analyzing data taken by environmental monitoring technicians while investigating environmental emissions. SyftEnviro provides the tools to identify pollution sources and take immediate action.
Adoption of SIFT-MS for VOC Pollution Monitoring in South Korea (Sept 2024)
September 6th 2024This publication reviews VOC pollutant monitoring applications of SIFT-MS in South Korea. SIFT-MS has been applied to emission source characterization, fenceline monitoring, ambient monitoring, pollution mapping, and incident response (including the use of drone-based sampling) for hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), odor nuisance species, and compounds that have high ozone formation potential (OFP) and/or contribute to secondary aerosol (SOA) formation.
