In this webinar, we describe applications of SIFT-MS to diverse process and specialty gas applications.  The strength of SIFT-MS lies in the combination of four factors that other techniques lack:

• Rapid analysis
• Comprehensive compound detection, including highly reactive species
• Selectivity
• Simple, low-cost operation

This webinar describes how SIFT-MS works, how it speeds up analysis and how it has been validated successfully in accordance with ICH Q2(R1) guidelines suitable for pharmaceutical applications, such as regulatory submissions where GMP compliance is essential.  This is illustrated by utilizing formaldehyde analysis as a case study.

This workshop includes:

• An overview of the current industries that are using SIFT-MS and the companies that are benefiting from it
• What distinguishes SIFT-MS from other mass spectrometry techniques
• Where and how SIFT-MS applies in the pharmaceutical industry
• Live demonstrations: using SIFT-MS to analyze various samples
• Breakdown of sample analysis, including Syft Technologies' custom software that displays data in real-time.

In this webinar, we describe the wide range of biomedical and pharmaceutical applications in which SIFT-MS solves difficult analytical challenges.  These include:

• Breath research, for which there is a significant academic literature
• Analysis of body fluid headspace
• Microbial VOC analysis
• Emerging small-molecule applications for the pharma industry

This webinar discusses an online measurement system for monitoring organic solvent removal of organic solvents during the drying process using SIFT-MS.  This method enables real-time, high-resolution analysis of the performance of various conventional and novel drying technologies, with little requirement for analytical method development.  Example results and benefits of this approach are discussed.

The excellent selectivity of SIFT-MS enables comprehensive detection of VOCs and inorganic gases, with the ability to quantify multiple analytes simultaneously. The wide range of analytes that can be measured by SIFT-MS make it a great solution for food, flavor and agriculture applications.  In the webinar, we discuss applications:

• Flavor formation and release
• Breath-based analysis
• Origin classification
• Freshness determination
• Instrument-based sensory evaluations

Dr Castada presents his research on Characterization and Classification of Lamb Flavor Using SIFT-MS. This presentation encompasses the full spectrum of SIFT-MS application development. Dr Castada describes the addition of key lamb flavor compounds to the SIFT-MS compound library, the acquisition of data using headspace-SIFT-MS and the data analysis process.

Doctors Jamie Minaeian, Mark Perkins, and Kathy Ridgway of Element (UK) evaluated SIFT-MS for real-time detection of volatile compounds, such as acrylamide, that are formed during certain food production processes. This Syft Application Talk, presented by Dr Mark Perkins, outlines their approach and success!

This webinar describes the benefits that make it the ideal instrument for product emission testing applications. Dr. Holzwarth, Senior Manager VIAQ VOC Odor, imat-uve, presents examples that illustrate how SIFT-MS has been applied to a range of emissions testing applications in the imat-uve laboratory. imat-uve evaluations include comparative studies that parallel the ISO 12219-4 emission testing chamber standard.

This webinar outlines the benefits that make SIFT-MS the ideal instrument for product emission testing applications, from component screening through to complete vehicle interior air quality testing on the production line.  Case studies will be used to illustrate how SIFT-MS has been applied to a range of emissions testing applications.

In this webinar, we describe various automotive applications of SIFT-MS including exhaust gas analysis, emission screening of synthetic and natural vehicle components, and leak detection. Implementations of SIFT-MS instrumentation range from R&D through to the process line, enabling timely decisions to be made from new product development right through to production.

This webinar introduces environmental applications of SIFT-MS ranging from real-time ambient air monitoring to high-throughput soil and water analysis.  Learn how diverse VOCs (such as benzene and formaldehyde) and inorganic gases (such as sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide) are detected in a single, simple analysis.
