OverviewPyrolysis gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (Py-GCMS) enables characterization of a wide range of materials, including insoluble or complex matrices, often at trace levels and frequently without prior sample pretreatment. Typical sample types include polymers, plastics, rubber, paints, dyes, resins, coatings, cellulose, wood, textiles and oils.
SystemThe Multi-Shot Pyrolyzer EGA/PY-3030D with a vertical micro furnace is the top-class model in Frontier Laboratories Ltd.'s series of multi-function pyrolyzers, designed for coupling with GC and GC-MS for pyrolysis analysis and evolved gas analysis (EGA).
