High-Sensitivity Detection of Polystyrene Using F-Splitless Py-GC/MS
Improved Polystyrene Detection and Quantification Using F-Splitless Py-GC/MS Introduction Polystyrene (PS) is a widely used synthetic polymer found in packaging, consumer products, and many other applications. Detecting and quantifying very small amounts of polystyrene can be challenging when conventional analytical methods do not provide sufficient sensitivity. Pyrolysis-Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) provides a chemical approach for…
