Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are typically found in air in the part-per-trillion and part-perbillion by volume (pptv and ppbv) concentration range. Since both anthropogenic and biogenic sources of VOCs display significant time dependence, traditional GC/MS methodologies are unsuitable, due to preconcentration requirements and slow analysis times.
Alternatively, Selected Ion Flow Tube Mass Spectrometry (SIFT-MS) detects and quantifies VOCs in realtime in air to pptv levels with no sample preparation. This application note illustrates how readily a Syft Technologies’ Voice200 SIFT-MS instrument can be deployed for a short-term campaign to provide detailed, real-time VOC analysis.
