Pharmaceutical Small Polar Molecules

Comprehensive analysis, including inorganics and chromatographically challenging compounds.

Simple analysis of Small Polar molecules

Analysis of polar and reactive species – such as formaldehyde, acetaldehyde and formic acid – is slow and complicated when using conventional chromatographic methods. SIFT-MS simplifies detection of small polar species by analyzing them directly from gas or headspace to sub-ppbV concentrations, without requiring derivatization or preconcentration.

Applications of SIFT-MS for analysis of challenging compounds include:

  • Residual monomers and byproducts
  • Residual solvents in pharmaceuticals
  • Packaging impurities

Linear detection of formaldehyde in the ppbV range.
