This demonstration showcases the application of SIFT-MS. SIFT-MS utilizes chemical ionization to quantitatively analyze the widest range of chemical species in a single method.

Calibration Approaches for Real-Time Analysis Dr Barry Prince, Principal Scientist, Syft Technologies, New Zealand SIFT-MS is inherently quantitative through its application of highly controlled, gas-phase ion-molecule chemistry.

Time-Resolved Thermal Extraction of Volatiles from Plastic Materials using TD-SIFT-MS Dr Christopher Pfaff, Syft Technologies, Germany In recent years, the drive towards safer and more environmentally-friendly products has increased the challenges faced in raw material processing for manufacturers in the automotive, packaging, medical device and consumer products industries.

Calibration Approaches for Automated SIFT-MS Dr. Mark Perkins, Senior Applications Chemist, Anatune Limited, UK This presentation describe how instrument calibration is achieved very simply and rapidly with automated SIFT-MS instrumentation.

New Developments in Automated Sample Handling and Preparation Combined with SIFT-MS Analysis Kurt Thaxton, GERSTEL, USA & Germany Sometimes it’s not possible to bring the SIFT-MS to the sample.

Source Apportionment and Quantification of Liquid and Headspace Leaks from Closed System Transfer Devices via SIFT-MS Drs Amos Doepke and Robert Streicher, CDC/NIOSH/HELD/CBMB, Cincinnati, USA A system to differentiate and quantify liquid and headspace leaks from closed system transfer devices (CSTDs) is presented.

Method Validation for Automated Headspace Analysis Dr. Mark Perkins, Senior Applications Chemist, Anatune Limited, UK Automated SIFT-MS enables high-throughput analytical methods to be developed quickly and easily for a wide range of analytes, measured simultaneously, using static headspace analysis.

Use and Advantages of SIFT-MS in Proficiency Testing and Method Development at a Dynamic Test Gas Facility Christiane Kaus, IFA (The Institute for Occupational Safety and Health of German Social Accident Insurance), Germany Quantification of harmful substances in workplace environments is a topic of huge interest.

Method Development for Automated Headspace Analysis Dr. Mark Perkins, Senior Applications Chemist, Anatune Limited, UK Automated SIFT-MS enables high-throughput analytical methods to be developed quickly and easily for a wide range of analytes, measured simultaneously, using static headspace analysis.

As a manufacturer of a relatively new analytical technology, Syft frequently gets asked whether SIFT-MS can analyze ‘such and such’… In this presentation, Dr Vaughan Langford describes the principles by which such questions can be answered and gives an outline of how we begin to develop the application itself.

At the most fundamental level, what really differentiates SIFT-MS from other direct mass spectrometry techniques?
