Pyrolysis Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry
Schedule a MeetingPyrolysis Gas Chromatography -Mass Spectrometry(Pyro-GC-MS)
Pyrolysis Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (Pyro-GC-MS) is a very highly sensitive analytical tool that is used to characterize the polymers and composite materials that cannot be analyzed. For this process to occur, the traditional GC-MS technique is used.

Pyro-GC-MS
Types of Pyrolysis-GC-MS Analysis
- Single Shot Pyrolysis-GC-MS: It runs on a single temperature, which is then rapidly increased at a rate of 20 msec to break bonds.
- Double Shot Pyrolysis: It runs both at high and low temperatures. The latter part is known as the thermal desorption step. It examines low molecular weight components, residual solvents, and additives.
- Evolved Gas Analysis: The same sample is put into the Pyrolysis unit which is set at a low temperature. The temperature is then increased, and the component is evolved. This testing helps to determine the temperature range of the desired component.
- Low-Temperature Thermal Desorption: It takes place for products such as residual solvents, additives, and other off-gassed components. Here, in this case, polymer identification is not required.
- Reactive Pyrolysis: Data interpretation of complex mixtures is difficult. For example, for certain classes of compounds, such as polyesters. A chemical reaction occurs when the derivatization technique is utilized. A pyrolysis chamber is a chemical reaction that allows easy interpretation of the products.
- Quantitative Pyrolysis-GC-MS: When the amount is not calculated using another technique, then this testing approach is used. An example component such as Irganox, Irgafos have low ppm additive.
- Cyrotrapping Pyrolysis-GC-MS: This testing technique is used to narrow down the chromatographic band and then improve the detection limit of the sample, which is cryptrapped with the help of liquid nitrogen.
