What: Quantitative Odor Monitoring: Source to Fenceline Analysis Using Direct MS
Instrumental odor analysis is challenging due to the chemical diversity and short lifetime of many important odorants, the high sensitivity required, and the dynamic nature of the odor itself

Instrumental odor analysis is challenging due to the chemical diversity and short lifetime of many important odorants, the high sensitivity required, and the dynamic nature of the odor itself (due, for example, to changing wind conditions or human activity). Conventional sensor-based and chromatographic technologies are poorly suited to the task.
Selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS) is a revolutionary direct mass spectrometric technology that provides comprehensive real-time odor analysis through detection and quantitation of all odorants (e.g. aldehydes, amines, organosulfur compounds, and volatile fatty acids).
This webinar, which will present a variety of SIFT-MS-based odor monitoring applications, including:
- Odor source characterisation
- Evaluation of odor mitigation technology
- Continuous odor monitoring.
Learning Objectives of Webinar
- The fundamentals of the selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS) analytical technique, including its ability to sensitively detect diverse odorants.
- How SIFT-MS compares with traditional odor measurement techniques – both instrument and human.
- How SIFT-MS can provide enhanced odor analysis, from profiling odor sources to fenceline monitoring.
