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.
