pyrolysis gc-ms Pyrolysis GC-MS can be done inside the OPTIC 3 injector liner.
This can be done with both:

Liquid samples
      or
Solid samples





Why Pyrolysis GC-MS?
Pyrolysis, coupled with GC-MS permits the analysis of samples which were previously unsuitable for analysis without lengthy extractions or derivatizations.

What is Pyrolysis?
Pyrolysis GC-MS is simply the breaking apart of large complex molecules into smaller, more analytically useful fragments by the application of heat.


Liquid sample:
The sample is injected into the injector, solvent is blown away and the OPTIC 3 is heated with a very fast ramp rate to 600°C or lower.
Example for characterization of copolymers:
Parameters to consider in Py-GC-MS using OPTIC 3-injector
  • Repeatability pyrolysis:
     - Large volume liquid injection
     - Approx. 100 µg/ml
     - Pyrolysis temp. 550ºC
    For PMMA, PS, PBA, PCL: RSD < 4% (n=20)
    		•
  • Linearity pyrolysis:
     - Large volume liquid injection
     - 0-170 µg/ml (7 standards)
    For PMMA and PS: r2: >0.999
    		•
  • Influence MW:
     - Large volume liquid injection
     - 7 standards with different MW (2,000 - 1,500,000)
    For PMMA and PS: RSD < 4%
    		•

    Solid sample:
    The sample is placed into the liner and the liner is placed into the injector. After this the OPTIC 3 pyrolyzer is heated with a very fast ramp rate to 600°C or lower.
