Syft Tracer SIFT-MS VOC Analyzer
Real-Time Trace Gas Analysis with High Sensitivity and Rapid Results
Selected Ion Flow Tube Mass Spectrometry (SIFT-MS) is a form of direct mass spectrometry, providing real-time trace gas analysis of a broad range of volatile compounds. By combining direct, continuous sample injection with ultra-soft chemical ionisation, SIFT-MS delivers quantitative results within seconds without chromatography or sample pre-concentration.
THE MISSING PIECE OF THE ANALYTICAL PUZZLE
In addition to its rapid analysis times, SIFT-MS occupies an important gap in the analytical landscape. Conventional chromatography, both liquid and gas, can struggle with low-molecular-weight, highly polar analytes, often requiring derivatisation, preconcentration or other sample preparation to achieve effective analysis of small polar molecules such as formaldehyde. SIFT-MS provides a fast, direct and highly effective solution for this challenging class of compounds, complementing rather than replacing conventional chromatographic techniques.

Trace Level Detection of VOCs and Contaminants in Seconds Without Chromatography
The Syft Tracer is Syft Technologies’ latest iteration, with up to 50% greater sensitivity than previous Syft platforms. Combined with robotic automation, it enables reliable detection of challenging compounds such as nitrosamines, ethylene oxide, formaldehyde, ammonia, benzene, residual solvents, and other VOCs. For regulated environments such as the pharmaceutical industry, a fully compliant 21 CFR 11 option is available.
Inlet options including single continuous analysis, a 14-position multiport inlet, auto-validation, and high-throughput options, make this the ideal platform for pharmaceutical, environmental, manufacturing and continuous process monitoring. Additionally, industry specific options for unattended control of airborne molecular contaminants (AMC) in semiconductor fabs are also available.
