Which polymers are present—and how much? Explore the micro- and nanoplastics analysis workflow with a micro-furnace pyrolysis-GC/MS, from sample preparation to measurement and data interpretation. This short video introduces the tools for polymer identification and quantification, helping laboratories understand how the workflow could support their analytical needs.

Michael Schilling, Senior Scientist at the Getty Conservation Institute, explains how GC/MS and advanced pyrolysis techniques are used to analyze and preserve organic materials in works of art, from historic lacquers to modern plastics.

Zhanfei Liu, The University of Texas at Austin, highlights how pyrolysis supports precise characterization and quantification of organic matter in microplastics and nanoplastics, advancing research into their potential health effects.

Rigoberto Advincula, PhD, of The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, explains how pyrolysis combined with GC/MS and AI-driven analysis advance polymer characterization, optimize composites, and support innovation in 3D printing and product development.
