SH-SIFT-MS provides an instrument-based odor rating technique for the analysis of diverse odor compounds – such as short-chain organic acids, aldehydes and reduced sulfur compounds. Throughput of at least 12 samples per hour can be achieved using this method.

SIFT-MS provides online AMC monitoring solutions for Fab environmental control.  Detect volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and inorganic acids instantly with trace level sensitivity. Learn how SIFT-MS provides real-time detection of airborne molecular contaminants through a single instrument solution.  Never miss a contamination event again.

This webinar describes the use of SIFT-MS for air quality monitoring and describes a case study of its application during an air quality monitoring campaign in Hanoi, Vietnam.  We are joined by Dr. Marvin Shaw of the National Center of Atmospheric Science, UK who discusses the results of this study. 

In this application note, SIFT-MS is evaluated for odor source characterization at a gelatin factory, together with benchmarking of the effectiveness of an ultraviolet (UV) photolysis technology used for odor mitigation. SIFT-MS is very effective in both applications due to its wide dynamic range, trace-level sensitivity, real-time detection, and lack of requirement for sample prep or pre-concentration.

In this application note, we demonstrate high-throughput analysis of BTEX compounds in air, water and soil.  We demonstrate how SIFT-MS enables excellent differentiation of the ethylbenzene isomer from the xylene isomers using known O2+ reagent ion chemistry for both air and water.  This approach can be applied in real-time and in high throughput applications.

Quantitative ethylene oxide analysis in Polysorbate 80 excipient is greatly simplified using SIFT-MS, with a time to first test result that is eight-fold faster than the current compendial method and a
daily sample throughput that is 9- to 14-fold higher.

Learn about direct mass spectrometry by SIFT-MS which provides real-time, quantitative analysis of volatile compounds with trace-level sensitivity.  There are also no requirements of chromatography, pre-concentration, or sample prep!  SIFT-MS is easy to use and interpret data. 

Process analysis using SIFT-MS enables the drying process to be monitored past the drying end-point measurable using conventional weighing methods. This delivers greater efficiencies for production, and lowers risk of thermally damaging sensitive APIs.

The sensitivity, selectivity, and high-speed analysis provided by SIFT-MS provides fast, reliable, and economic analysis of drilling mud at the well site.  Learn more about how it provides comprehensive, quantitative C1 – C14 analysis of mud gas in less than 15 seconds to part-per-billion-by volume concentrations (ppbv).

SIFT-MS presents a breakthrough in the detection, quantitation and tracing of petroleum hydrocarbons.  This brochure outlines several SIFT-MS-based petrochemical industry solutions provided by Syft Technologies including mud logging, sour gas detection, oil and gas prospecting, leak detection, and fence line monitoring.

We present the results of the first study where SIFT-MS was used to detect and quantify hydrogen sulfide in natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).  SIFT-MS very effectively detects and quantifies hydrogen sulfide to mid part-per-billion levels in natural gas and LPG (due to the need for dilution).  The degree of souring of natural gas, in addition to determining its light to medium hydrocarbon composition, can be determined.

SIFT-MS can continuously analyze volatiles that indicate non-conformance of raw materials, such as bulk gases utilized in semiconductor manufacture. This webinar describes how SIFT-MS can be deployed in both targeted and un-targeted operational modes to enhance quality assurance and increase yields, via continuous monitoring.
