Dr. Mark Perkins (Anatune Limited, UK) and Alan Wilkinson (Biopharma Stability Testing Laboratory, UK) collaborated to evaluate SIFT-MS for determination of CSTDs using protocols previously developed by NIOSH (USA). Using propylene glycol methyl ether (PGME) as a surrogate, SIFT-MS detects sub-microlitre volume leaks from these devices.

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!

SIFT-MS is a proven technology used for real-time monitoring of air quality and non-invasive testing of human breath.
It provides analysis of raw whole-air samples – that is, analysis without sample preparation.  This whitepaper provides an overview of SIFT-MS and its suitability for OSH applications, particularly the monitoring of toxins on workers' breath.

SIFT-MS is the first technology proven capable of rapidly, simply and accurately detecting and quantifying a broad range of fumigants and TICs, without unnecessarily disrupting movements through freight-handling facilities. With an ability to identify compounds well below risk levels for long-term exposure, SIFT-MS is successfully protecting workers in the shipping and border security industries.

SIFT-MS represents a breakthrough in the detection, quantification, and tracing of gaseous emissions for the automotive industry. This brochure outlines several SIFT-MS-based vehicle and component testing solutions provided by Syft Technologies.
