Py-GCMS GC and GC-MS Application System

Pyrolysis gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) is a powerful technique for characterizing a wide range of materials, including those that are insoluble, complex, or present at trace levels. Often requiring little to no sample preparation, it is particularly effective for analyzing substances such as polymers, microplastics, rubber, paints, dyes, resins, coatings, cellulose, wood, textiles, and oils. By applying heat to break down samples, Py-GC/MS enables the analysis of compounds that are otherwise unsuitable for conventional gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC/MS).

By heating the sample mixture to the point of thermal degradation, the now smaller molecules can be separated by gas chromatography (GC) and identified by mass spectrometry (MS). While it cannot detect certain inorganic substances, this chemical analysis technique offers highly sensitive qualitative and quantitative data that makes Py-GCMS instruments incredibly useful to various industries and applications, including environmental analysis, polymer indentification and forensic science.

The Multi-Shot Pyrolyzer EGA/PY 3030D with its vertical micro furnace is the top-class model in the series of multi-function pyrolyzers developed by Frontier Laboratories Ltd.
