Microplastics Analysis Using Pyrolysis-GC/MS System

During this short explainer video, we describe the importance of microplastics analysis and how scientists use vertical-furnace pyrolysis-GC/MS to identify and quantify unknown microplastic polymers.

Due to the increased environmental pollution caused by microplastics, many laboratories worldwide seek analytical methods to identify and measure these tiny particles accurately. Frontier Labs is leading the way, developing material characterization analytical solutions to identify and measure microplastics in various matrices.

These solutions comprise of high-performance instrumentation, easy-to-use calibration standards, and an intelligent search engine to identify and quantify microplastic polymers in just a few seconds. At the center is the proven micro-furnace Pyrolysis-GC/MS system, which includes a micro-furnace pyrolyzer directly interfaced with a GC/MS system, an auto-shot sampler for automating the analysis, an intelligent F-Search MPs search engine for easier identification of unknown microplastics, an easy-to-use microplastics calibration standards kit, and the bench-top cryogenic mill for sample preparation.

Learn how this powerful system works through this easy-to-follow short video.
