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 either to check they are above or do not exceed a certain level. In these cases, a simple monitoring test with a pass/fail output would be ideal. In this work we demonstrate how a simple to operate mass detector with direct sampling inlet can be deployed in workflows across the chemical manufacturing industry. This technique can be used for rapid routine monitoring in industrial samples such as polymers, formulated lubricant oils, and industrial chemical manufacturing mixtures.
