MSChrom, together with a pyrolysis Py-GC-MS database of polymers helps to deconvolute a challenging polymer sample Home >> Products >> Pyrolysis >> Py-GC-MS Database Pyrolysis Introduction Features Applications Parts & Options Downloads MSChrom + Py-GC-MS Database Product Introduction Product Introduction Recommend System Requirements: Windows OS: CPU: RAM: USB 3.0: Windows 10/11 i5 9th Gen 8 GB one dedicated USB 3.0 port Summary Analytical pyrolysis coupled to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC-MS) is a gold standard approach in polymer characterization by vaporizing complex samples with thermal energy into GC-MS for separation and detection. The resulting chromatograms, known as pyrograms, are often extremely complex and relying heavily on Py-GC-MS reference database to interpret. CDS Analytical and Mestrelab Research co-present a powerful mass spectral processing software: CDS Mnova Plugin, which uses Mestrelab's Mnova MSChrom and DB plugins, to perform the characterization of polymer samples through the search engine and Py-GC-MS database over 640 polymers. The unique subtraction feature empowers the user to complete multiple search from a polymer mixture. Product Features Product Features Maximum Data Compatibility MSChrom is compatible with mainstream GC/MS manufacturers' data format, this include but not limit to Thermo, Agilent, PE, Scion, Shimadzu and Varian 640+ Data Entries The library contains PY-GC-MS data including chromatogram and full mass spectrum instead of averaged Total Ion Chromatogram (TIC) for over 640 polymer Baseline Correction Capable of performing a batch baseline correction, which can be used to deduct a GC/MS system blank TIC from sample TIC data to improve the system sensitivity Co-adding Integrated Peaks Unique peak selection tool allows the user to select mass spectra of peaks to display, in which the tails of each peak are not included in the mass spectrum, to provide cleaner data. Compare MS Data The unknown and the record mass spectra can be compared by the Mass Spectrum Mass Data entry in the Scores Section to the Spectral View section. Compare Chromographic Data Chromatograms of both the unknown and the record can be put on the same page for comparison in order to confirm the search result. Applications Customizable Library MSChrom is supplied with a database license to allow the user to build a customized database by a supplied template MS Data Subtraction This feature enhances characterization of a mixed polymer sample by sequentially subtracting the match record from unknown through an easy GUI Automated Reporting Improves the efficiency and save time for more complex problems to better report MS data on your computer Applications 294 Performance Fabric Identification using Evolved Gas Analysis and Multi-step Pyrolysis GC-MS with MSChrom + CDS EGA and Py Databases This application note demonstrates the use of a Pyroprobe 6150 to characterize an elastomeric fabric using Evolved Gas Analysis (EGA) plus Multi-Step Pyrolysis (MSP), along with CDS’s EGA and Pyrolysis Databases on Mestrelab’s Mnova MSChrom + DB and CDS plugins. 6 000 Evolved Gas Analysis Autosampler PY Library 283 Deconvolution of Plastic Mixtures using a Polymer Subtraction Function in Py-GC-MS Data Analysis Software This application note demonstrates a polymer subtraction capability in Py-GC-MS data analysis software.
