Syft offers a robust, field-deployable solution utilizing state-of-the-art SIFT-MS technology.  Multiple, rapidly switching reagent ions provide high selectivity, allowing for targeting of specific targets such as the epoxide ring of ethylene oxide or the aldehyde group of acetaldehyde.

This webinar describes how SIFT-MS is readily applied to the demanding requirements of real-time ambient air monitoring applications. 

Air quality applications discussed in the webcast are:

• Routine ambient air quality monitoring
• Autonomous air monitoring in the field (a case study from China comparing SIFT-MS air quality monitoring with GC-FID)
• Eddy covariance measurements

Exposure to chloramines is a recognized health hazard in the home, recreation centers, and the workplace.  SIFT-MS easily resolves all chloramines and chlorine and provides results in real-time.  Learn more about how to protect the indoor air safety of your environment.

SIFT-MS provides unique capabilities for environmental applications including ambient air measurement, mobile monitoring, emissions detection, and odor assessment.  Its real-time detection of VOCs and inorganic compounds is highly sensitive, selective, chromatography-free, and easy to use. 

The selective, sensitive, rapid, and robust analysis provided by SIFT-MS makes it uniquely suited to outdoor air quality monitoring.  SIFT-MS enables potential environmental incidents to be detected, identified, and remedied quickly, before they escalate to social or regulatory issues.

This study demonstrates the ease with which construction materials can be evaluated for their formaldehyde adsorption efficacy, by utilizing direct analysis with selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS). With this approach, merino wool is shown to be extremely effective in adsorbing formaldehyde from air.

The high-speed analysis provided by SIFT-MS makes it ideally suited to continuous monitoring of ambient VOCs.  The SIFT-MS solution provides a robust, easily deployed and operated package for sensitive, quantitative real-time monitoring of a diverse range of VOCs and inorganic gases.

SIFT-MS easily detects toxic volatile compounds in container air space such as fumigants and TICs.  Trace volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are detected in real-time, keeping shipping container workers safe.  Learn about how SIFT-MS is used in the detection of fumigants, TIC, and contraband.
