SIFT-MS

SIFT-MS (Selected Ion Flow Tube Mass Spectrometery) provides the capability of the quantitative measurement of VOC's in the gas phase at sub-ppb concentrations without calibration. Other techniques are limited to a single ionisation process or reagent, making the interpretation of results more difficult and subjective. With a user-specified choice of reagent ions SIFT-MS not only incorporates ionisation by proton transfer but also charge transfer, hydride ion transfer and three-body association. This provides the facility to cross-reference results, enabling more certain identification of unknown peaks in complex mass spectra.

Profile 3

Applications for trace gas measurement are varied and challenging and growing in number every day. Quantitative analysis of real samples has always been a problem, particularly moist samples, such as exhaled breath. Now, the Profile 3, from Instrument Science, provides solutions not available elsewhere. Gas phase samples can be analysed down to single digit ppb levels, without pre-concentration. The breath from a patient, the atmosphere in a workplace or the exhaust from an engine can be sampled directly, providing immediate results. Volatile liquids can also be analysed via their headspace.
