Pyrolysis analysis of rubber.

Routine analysis requires 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 time and gas chromatography (GC) conditions, can be defined for each sample, if required. The Curie-Point-Pyrolyser can be installed or removed from the GC in just a few minutes. In this way, users can easily change, reliably and safely, between pyrolysis and liquid injection, according to company. Despite the power of modern analytical instruments techniques of analysis such as gas chromatography and mass spectrometry, one of the most important challenges is said to remain 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 non-volatile, chemical materials, and is said to provide a time-saving alternative.
