Progress with Alternative Solvents for SIFT-MS: 2024 Update
Author(s)Syft Technologies Inc
Explore advancements in utilizing alternative solvents for SIFT-MS. This tech note introduces three new solvents—acetonitrile, N,N'-dimethylpropyleneurea (DMPU), and propylene glycol (PG)—and highlights the enhanced sensitivity and applications of existing solvents like triacetin. The findings demonstrate significant benefits in analyzing diverse VOCs while addressing challenges in method development.
