GC and GC-MS Application System
Pyrolysis gas chromatography mass spectrometry (Py-GCMS) can be used to characterize most materials including insoluble and complex materials at trace levels often without any sample pretreatment e.g. polymers, plastics, rubber, paints, dyes, resins, coatings, cellulose, wood, textiles, oils etc.
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.
Screening Analysis of TSCA Regulated PIP(3:1)
Analysis of PIP (3:1) in Plastic by Py/TD-GC-MS
Based on Section6(h) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), the United States Environmental Protection Agency(U.S.EPA) has started regulating phenol, isopropylated phosphate (3:1)(PIP(3:1)). We introduce an example of verifying that Py/TD-GC-MS can be applied to analyze PIP(3:1) in plastic.
New Webinar Information -Redefine Volatile and Semivolatile Organic Compounds Analysis by GC-MS, from Start to Finish-
In this webinar, we will explore how Shimadzu’s latest GC-MS instruments, in combination with the multi-platform software LabSolutions and LabSolutions Insight, enable successful detection, quantitation, and suspect screening of VOCs and SVOCs. Plus, discover how these tools support EPA methods, from initial sample analysis to final data reporting.

Solutions for Analysis of Ethylene Oxide and 2-Chloroethanol in Food
Even though Ethylene oxide (EtO / EO) is well-known to be a toxic compound with carcinogenic and mutagenic concerns, it has been widely used for fumigation in the food industry because it effectively reduces or eliminates microbiological contamination with bacteria/fungi. The recent recall of food products exported to the EU due to non-compliance with EU regulations has highlighted the importance of quantitation of EtO and 2-CE residues in food.
Latest issue of Shimadzu Journal, featuring Forensics / Toxicology, has come out.
This issue focuses on "Forensics / Toxicology", an area where science and technology are particularly important and needed. It starts with two customer interviews.
Qualitative and quantitative analysis of microplastics in environmental samples by pyrolysis-GC/MS
In recent years, identification and quantitation using pyrolysis-GC MS (Py-GC/MS) have been considered to evaluate the chemical properties of microplastics.
