Py-Screener Ver.2
Screening System for Phthalate Esters and Brominated Flame Retardants
Making the Difficult simple
Py-Screener™ Ver. 2 is designed to screen for brominated flame retardants, such as PBBs and PBDEs, and phthalate esters in polymers. These substances are regulated under the Directive on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS (II) Directive) in Europe. The pyrolyzer GC/MS (Py-GC/MS) is used to selectively detect and quantify these restricted substances thermally extracted from samples. This screening system consists of a sampling toolkit, special standards, and special software and can be easily operated even by novices.

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.
