Pyroprobe Series

Pyrolysis is a thermal decomposition process of organic material at elevated temperatures in an anaerobic environment. It involves the cleavage of large complex molecules into smaller, more analytically useful fragments by the thermal energy.

As an analogy, a Mass Spectrometer shatters compounds using electron impact, the compound is fragmented in a reproducible way, the ions are separated by the MS and the result is a spectrum which is both qualitative and quantitative. Pyrolysis works in much the same way. By applying heat to a sample that is comparable to the energy of specific bonds, the molecule will fragment in a reproducible way. The fragments are then separated by the analytical column to produce the chromatogram (pyrogram) which contains both qualitative and quantitative information. The number of peaks, the resolution by capillary GC, and the relative intensities of the peaks permit discrimination among many similar formulations, making pyrolysis a powerful tool in the identification of unknown samples.

CDS 6150

The CDS Model 6200 Pyroprobe adds in an analytical trap to enable collecting analytes using slow rate pyrolysis. The built-in trap also expands the capability to use a reactant gas (like oxygen and air), and perform thermal desorption on sorbent tubes or larger samples. The 6200 also permits direct pyrolysis to the GC in GC carrier gas. The 6200 is equipped with Drop-In-Sample-Chamber (DISC) technology with easy sample loading and 1.5% RSD.

CDS 5200 HPR

The CDS HPR Pyroprobe enables users to study both high temperature and pressure in a micro-scale environment, with the convenience of results sent directly to their GC/MS. The unit is built on 5200 platform with a backpressure regulator and heated catalyst bed. Samples can be pyrolyzed at max 500 PSI (3400 kPa), passed through a user-selectable catalyst bed, and collected onto the built-in trap.
