Keywords Acrylates, methacrylates, consumer products, pyrolysis, gas chromatography, mass spectrometry Abstract Acrylates and methacrylates are two important classes of polymers used in a wide variety of products. Acrylates are polymers […]
LEARN MOREThe GERSTEL PYRO system heats the sample using an advanced dual coil platinum wire that allows it to operate in a variety of pyrolysis modes including standard pulsed, sequential, fractionated, […]
LEARN MOREApp Note 234/2022 Materials used to construct golf balls have evolved over the years. The original golf balls were made of wood. The next generation of balls were made from […]
LEARN MOREApp Note 233/2022 Plastics have become a major source of pollution due to their ubiquitous use in a wide array of products. Most plastics are not readily biodegradable and can […]
LEARN MOREIn this study, the GERSTEL PYRO was used for the pyrolysis of various materials that are relevant to forensic analysis applications, including paints, adhesives, and cosmetics. A GERSTEL MultiPurpose Sampler […]
LEARN MOREApp Note 212/2020 Plastics, micro- and nanoplastics pollution in oceans, lakes and other water sources is a well-documented issue. Uptake of these particles by shellfish and fish is one avenue […]
LEARN MOREApp Note 14/2012 This study shows the use of the GERSTEL MPS/TDU/CIS with pyrolysis module for generating simulated thermal gravimetric mass spectrometry data (TGA-MS) of polymer samples. This mode of […]
LEARN MOREApp Note 4/2011 This paper describes an automated pyrolysis system for gas chromatography (GC) based on a filament type pyrolyzer combined with a commercially available thermal desorption instrument, onto which […]
LEARN MOREApp Note 6/2013 Pyrolysis GC/MS was used to profile residual solids after drying aged whiskey samples. The samples in question were both 20 years old from the same un-aged parent […]
