Analysis of rubber by pyrolysis GC/MS.


Routine analysis does not require automation due to the increasing demand for shorter analysis times, higher throughput and cost reduction, according to the company. The Pyromat allows users to load up to 24 samples for unattended analysis. All parameters such as temperature, pyrolysis py·rol·y·sis
n.
Decomposition or transformation of a chemical compound caused by heat.

 time and GC conditions can be defined for each sample, if required.

The Curie-Point-Pyrolyser can be installed or removed from the GC in minutes. In this way, users can easily change, reliably and safely, between pyrolysis and liquid injection, according to the manufacturer.

Despite the power of modern analytical instruments techniques of analysis, such as gas chromatography gas chromatography (GC)

Type of chromatography with a gas mixture as the mobile phase. In a packed column, the packing or solid support (held in a tube) serves as the stationary phase (vapour-phase chromatography, or VPC) or is coated with a liquid stationary phase

Analytic technique by which chemical substances are identified by sorting gaseous ions by mass using electric and magnetic fields.
, one of the most important challenges remains that of sample preparation, especially for non-volatile, insoluble materials and chemicals. Sample preparation can require a lot of time and expertise, particularly when dealing with small sample amounts, according to the company.

Pyrolysis is said to be a well-established method for the analysis of complex nonvolatile, chemical materials, and provides a time saving alternative. With pyrolysis techniques, it is not necessary to perform sample preparation. In addition, small amounts of sample (micrograms) may be sufficient for an analysis.

The advantage of Curie-Point-Pyrolysis is said to be the use of ferromagnetic Refers to a material, such as iron and nickel, that can be easily magnetized. See MRAM.  material, which heats up in a very short time inside a magnetic field to a defined Curie-Point temperature. With increasing temperature, the permeability of ferromagnetic materials decreases. At the Curie-Point, the relative permeability of the sample carrier falls suddenly and the status changes instantly from ferromagnetic to paramagnetic par·a·mag·net·ic  
adj.
Relating to or being a substance in which an induced magnetic field is parallel and proportional to the intensity of the magnetizing field but is much weaker than in ferromagnetic materials.
