Join us for this web seminar to learn how SIFT-MS can revolutionize odor evaluation by complementing conventional sensory panel assessments with speciation and quantitation of odorants. Case studies include wastewater treatment odors, cannabis and hemp analysis, and body odor control.

Event Overview:
Instrumental odor analysis is challenging due to the chemical diversity and short lifetime of many important odorants, the high sensitivity required, and the dynamic of the odor itself. Conventional sensor-based and chromatographic technologies are poorly suited to the task.
Selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS) is a revolutionary direct mass spectrometric technology that provides comprehensive real-time odor analysis through detection and quantitation of diverse odorants—e.g., aldehydes, amines, organosulfur compounds, and volatile fatty acids—complementing conventional sensory analysis.
This webinar will present a variety of SIFT-MS-based odor applications correlated with conventional sensory panel assessment, including:
Join us to learn how SIFT-MS is simply faster.

The Benefits of DBS-GC–MS/MS in Barbiturate Detection
December 5th 2024Three analytical and two pre-treatment methods—gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS), gas chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (GC–MS/MS), and liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) plus liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) and dried blood spot (DBS) —were compared for the quantitation and characterization of barbiturates.
