Efficient Automated Pyrolysis GC
In this article, the authors describe a pyrolysis technique that is based on the injection of polymer emulsions or solutions using a high-temperature PTV system.
A novel approach for determining the structure and composition of polymers has been developed by scientists at Dow, a leading producer and supplier of chemicals and polymer products. In this article, the authors describe a pyrolysis technique that is based on the injection of polymer emulsions or solutions using a high-temperature PTV system. This approach enables efficient automation and improved determination of pyrolysis breakdown products using GC-FID or GC–MS.
New Study Reviews Chromatography Methods for Flavonoid Analysis
April 21st 2025Flavonoids are widely used metabolites that carry out various functions in different industries, such as food and cosmetics. Detecting, separating, and quantifying them in fruit species can be a complicated process.
University of Rouen-Normandy Scientists Explore Eco-Friendly Sampling Approach for GC-HRMS
April 17th 2025Root exudates—substances secreted by living plant roots—are challenging to sample, as they are typically extracted using artificial devices and can vary widely in both quantity and composition across plant species.
Sorbonne Researchers Develop Miniaturized GC Detector for VOC Analysis
April 16th 2025A team of scientists from the Paris university developed and optimized MAVERIC, a miniaturized and autonomous gas chromatography (GC) system coupled to a nano-gravimetric detector (NGD) based on a NEMS (nano-electromechanical-system) resonator.
