SIFT-MS: Complementing Sensory Analysis with Fast, Simple Quantitation of Odor

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: 

• Characterization and routine monitoring of wastewater odors,
• Body odor control/reduction in textiles,
• Analysis of favorable and unfavorable aromas in cannabis and hemp products, and
• Rapid screening of paperboard packaging.

Join us to learn how SIFT-MS is simply faster. 

Key Learning Objectives:

• Learn the fundamentals of the selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS) analytical technique, including its ability to sensitively quantify diverse odor compounds.
• Understand how SIFT-MS complements conventional sensory panel assessments.
• Through case studies, discover how SIFT-MS can provide enhanced odor analysis, from wastewater to body odor to packaging.
