’’New tool for routines polymer analysis’’

Shimadzu, provide a new versatile tool for the comprehensive analysis of polymer samples. It consists of Shimadzu’s GCMS-QP2010 quadrupole series and Frontier Lab’s new Multi-Shot EGA/PY-3030D(S) vertical micro furnace pyrolyzer. Both companies have teamed up in Pyrolysis-GCMS for years.

The PY-3030D is equipped with a low thermal mass ceramic heater featuring improved thermal stability and an extended temperature range from ambient + 10 °C to 1050 °C. This enables the analysis of temperature-sensitive compounds as well as the cracking of highly temperature-stable polymers using high-temperature pyrolysis. The low mass ceramic heater and the new design of the pyrolysis/GC in-terface contribute to increased heating and cooling rates, leading to higher productivity because of very short heater cycle times.

Optimized temperature control ensures increased reproducibility of pyrolysis data, particularly at higher temperatures. In addition, the outstanding performance of the GCMS-QP2010 series contributes to the excellent reproducibility of the data.
