Microplastics
Frontier Laboratories Leading the Fight Against Microplastics
Microplastics Analysis in the environment is a challenging task because of its micro/Nano sizes and trace/ultra-trace level concentrations (ppb and sub ppb). Although the presence of microplastics in drinking water, seawater, sediment, biota and even in air is reported by numerous reports, there are still many unanswered questions in terms of method selectivity, sensitivity and data quality. Still researchers are looking for right choice of protocol for sampling and sample preparations and analysis.For analysis, techniques like FTIR, Raman Spectroscopy, Fluorescence Spectroscopy are most commonly used. But all these methods have its own challenges. We will be presenting a new method for the analysis of Microplastics which is based on Pyrolysis-Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (PY-GCMS). Microplastics identification and quantification by PGCMS is boosted by Frontier Lab’s Microplastic Software

Learn about detection methods, mitigation strategies, and the importance of responsible consumption. Together, let's work towards a cleaner and more sustainable future.
Frontier Laboratories have developed series of hardware’s and software to enable microplastics by Py-GCMS at sub microgram and nanogram levels.
Multi-Functional Splitless Sampler (MFS-2015E)
The device allows "new splitless pyrolysis (F Splitless pyrolysis)", "backflush", and improved separation. The splitless pyrolysis greatly improves the measurement sensitivity of pyrolyzates. The backflush shortens the run time and reduces system contamination
UAMP Column Kit
Designed for microplastics analysis, this kit consists of a separation column (UA5-30M 0.5F), a specially designed pre-column (UA+-50), and a connector (UA Connector). Using this product improves the accuracy of analysis of a polymer mixture. Also, it reduces the contamination of the separation column.
MP Calibration Kits
This is used to identify and quantify 12major polymers using Py-GC/MS. It allowsthe user to easily create calibration curvesfor quantification of MPs. Both SiO2 (silicondioxide) and CaCO3 (calcium carbonate)are used as diluents for easy weighing onsemi-microbalance and contain a few micrograms of each of the 12 polymers. Standardset with lower concentrations (one-tenth ofthis product) is also available
Packed GC glass insert
Packed GC Glass Insert is a GC glass insertwith packing materials. Using this productimproves a peak shape of pyrolyzatesderived from microplastics.
F Search MP 2.1
The unique search algorithm allows userswith little experience in polymer analysis toobtain reliable microplastic identification andquantification results. The intelligent F-Search MP engine is competitive advantage. The search software allows you to createcalibration curves for quantification of MPsfor easy identification and quantification.
Cryogenic Mill [IQ Milll-2070]
This compact benchtop grinding mill has powerful and shear crushing capabilities and makes the sample grinding process into a simple pre-treatment operation. By using a special high elastic belt with excellent durability, efficient crushing is achieved in a short time by high-speed three-dimensional figure-8 motion.
