Abstract:
Mass Spectrometry can be a powerful tool for routine analyses such as identification, monitoring or screening, but the need for expert users or extended chromatographic separations limits its deployment in manufacturing settings across the chemical industry.
In many screening methods, several targeted species are monitored, checking they are above or do not exceed a certain level. In these cases, a simple test with a pass/fail output would be ideal.
Here we demonstrate deployment of a simple to operate mass detector with direct sampling inlet in workflows across the chemical industry. This technique can be used for rapid routine monitoring in industrial samples such as polymers, lubricant oils and industrial chemical mixtures.
