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.
