Event Overview:
Pyrolysis-gas chromatography mass spectrometry (PY-GC/MS) is an innovative analytical technique ideal for characterizing microplastic particles. Unlike traditional methods, which require extensive sample preparation, PY-GC allows for the direct thermal decomposition of complex polymers, producing gas-phase products that can be identified by gas chromatography. This technique offers unparalleled accuracy and efficiency when paired with Frontier’s total solution for microplastics analysis.
Key Learning Objectives:
- How PY-GC/MS works: Learn the principles of pyrolysis and its integration with gas chromatography to analyze microplastic samples
- Advantages of PY-GC in microplastic research: Discover the key benefits, including minimal sample preparation, precise identification of polymer types, and the ability to analyze complex mixtures of plastics.
- Applications: Explore real-world case studies and examples where Py-GC has been successfully used to detect and characterize microplastic pollution in environmental samples like water, air, and soil.
Who Should Attend:
- Environmental scientists
- Researchers in polymer science
- Laboratory analysts
- Academic professionals
- Anyone interested in environmental conservation and pollution analysis

A Review of the Latest Separation Science Research in PFAS Analysis
October 17th 2024This review aims to provide a summary of the most current analytical techniques and their applications in per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) research, contributing to the ongoing efforts to monitor and mitigate PFAS contamination.
Identifying PFAS in Soil Samples
October 17th 2024Jonathan Zweigle of the University Tübingen spoke with LCGC International about his work using non-targeted screening based on high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) to detect PFAS in soil samples. HRMS allows scientists to determine the elemental and isotopic composition of a sample with high accuracy.
