The Evolution from SIFT-MS to PTR-MS

From SIFT to ultimate performance PTR-TOF trace gas analyzers

The success story of PTR-TOFMS has its roots in the so-called “Flowing Afterglow Technique”, introduced in the 1960s. From this starting point continuous research and innovations by various experts, who wanted to eliminate instrumental drawbacks and shortcomings, have led to different technological milestones, among them SIFT-MS.

But innovation didn’t stop there and technological breakthroughs resulted in the development of PTR-MS, ultimately PTR-TOFMS as the current established “gold standard” for direct and extremely sensitive trace gas analysis.
