Direct SFIT-MS analysis of packaging materials
20 Jan 2026Ensuring that volatile leachable impurities are at low levels in packaging materials is crucial to prevent contamination into products such as food or pharmaceuticals. Initiatives that contribute to improved sustainability see more recycled polymer and paper packaging utilized by industry, which may require increased material testing even on the manufacturing line.
Explore how selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS) provides a versatile solution across different applications to offer low cost analysis and real-time monitoring.

Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place.
