Trade name
Pyrolizer Pyroprobe 5000
Technical description

Pyrolysis is heating large complex molecules in the absence of air to break them down into smaller, more analytically available fragments. Combined with GC/MS, pyrolysis enables quantitative and qualitative analysis of complex samples without extended extraction or derivatization procedures.

In addition, the device offers multi-stage temperature programming. The first step of the analysis temperature below 350 °C allows the extraction of volatile and semi-volatile compounds for analysis before pyrolysis of the remaining polymer. This is invaluable for detecting solvents as well as residual polymer monomers and additives
