Rapid Screening of Recycled Packaging Materials by SIFT-MS
Automated headspace-SIFT-MS analysis can classify HDPE at throughputs over 230 samples per day, offering great potential for rapid screening of recycled packaging materials.
Read MoreReal-Time Monitoring of Bioreactor Fermentation Compounds Using SIFT-MS
The ability of SIFT-MS to monitor critical volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by a bioreactor in real-time at low parts-per-billion by volume (ppbV) concentrations is demonstrated. This application note presents the results of a pilot-scale feasibility study conducted over several weeks, demonstrating the utility of SIFT-MS for maximizing production outcomes.
Read MoreSIFT-MS provides rapid analysis of benzene in consumer products
SIFT-MS provides rapid, sensitive, and robust analysis of benzene and other contaminants in a wide array of commercial products. Integration with a headspace autosampler enables rapid screening of hundreds of samples per day. In this study, four commercial personal care product matrices were tested: a crushed tablet, a syrup, a creamy lotion (called ‘lotion’) and an oily lotion.

We asked Mike McGinley, President, St. Croix Sensory, Inc. about his experience using SIFT-MS.
Read MoreMove residual solvent monitoring in-process (NOW!) with SIFT-MS!
Process analysis using SIFT-MS enables the solvent drying process to be monitored past the drying end-point measurable using conventional weighing methods.
Read MoreAccelerate formaldehyde screening in PEG excipients using SIFT-MS!
SIFT-MS greatly simplifies formaldehyde detection and quantitation through direct, instantaneous, and sensitive (sub-ppbV) sample ionization, yielding sample throughputs of up to 250+ samples/day.
Read MoreHeadspace-SIFT-MS is 7X Faster Than LC and GC Analysis of MOSH and MOAH Compounds
Comprehensive analysis of Mineral oil hydrocarbons (MOH) is very challenging and time consuming. Headspace-SIFT-MS can screen over 220 samples per day for the volatile fraction – nearly seven-fold more samples than the routine liquid and gas chromatography method.

Read MoreSimple SIFT-MS Analysis of Winchcombe Meteorite
On February 28, 2021 a meteorite struck the town of Winchcombe in Gloucestershire, United Kingdom (UK). SIFT-MS is ideally suited to detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The SIFT-MS method used to analyze the meteorite is described briefly on page 11 of the Science article, with C1 to C6 alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids targeted.
Read MoreSimplify your ethylene oxide analysis workflow using SIFT-MS!
SIFT-MS provides a much more streamlined workflow for testing of ethylene oxide in PEG excipients. Depending on your current workflow, with SIFT-MS you can have your first test results 5- to- 11-times faster (within 85 minutes) than GC and you could increase your daily throughput 9- to 14-fold!
Read MoreAmplify your volatile nitrosamines screening using SIFT-MS!
SIFT-MS is 2-4X as fast as traditional methods of nitrosamine analysis. Even better, SIFT-MS does not require recalibration every day – so you can have results in just 35 minutes, or up to 8x faster!
