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.

This application note describes a scenario in which Syft Tracer replaces five chromatography systems and still has significant available sample capacity. Next gen SIFT-MS provides rapid, chromatography-free workflows which revolutionize volatile compound analysis.

This application note demonstrates the speed of headspace-SIFT-MS methods for the analysis of benzene in personal care products (PCPs). In less than three hours, seven-point calibration curves can be generated and accurate quantification of benzene in PCPs achieved. SIFT-MS provides rapid, sensitive, and robust analysis of benzene and other contaminants in a variety of commercial products. Integration with a headspace autosampler enables rapid screening of hundreds of samples per day.

This app note introduces the next generation of SIFT-MS that revolutionizes volatile impurities analysis workflows through unparalleled speed, performance stability, and reproducibility. Learn about how eliminates the hassles associated with chromatography and outpaces traditional methods in the analysis of challenging analytes such as formaldehyde in a PEG excipient.

This application note describes head-to-head comparison of GC-FID and SIFT-MS analyses of Class 2A and 2B residual solvents. SIFT-MS provides greater than 11-fold increase in sample throughput and significantly reduces the time taken to report quantitative results (over six times faster for a full calibration set).

Learn about the latest advancement in real-time, direct injection mass spectrometry (MS) that is built to solve the most difficult analytical challenges. Never miss a contamination event again.


The characteristic flexibility, stability, high throughput, and fast time to report analytical results of the Syft Tracer next-generation SIFT-MS instrument apply across multiple headspace approaches for diverse matrices. This application note briefly summarizes the use of (1) dissolution, (2) multiple headspace extraction (MHE), and (3) the method of standard additions, then provides a guide for identifying the appropriate headspace approach for various matrices.
