Enhanced terpene analysis with SIFT-MS

Terpenes, a large class of organic compounds known for their distinctive smell and flavor profiles, are of significant interest to researchers due to the fact that changes to terpenes can be used to alter the smell or taste of a product. In this video interview with Dr. Sherrie Vicker of St Croix Sensory, discover how she has utilized Syft Tracer to advance her terpene research with exciting results. Syft Tracer is the next generation of real-time trace gas analysis, delivering highly sensitive, reproducible and quantitative data with unparalleled performance stability.

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.
