TED GC/MS Determination of Microplastics

The GERSTEL Thermal Extraction and Desorption (TED)-GC/MS system performs fully automated determination of microplastics in environmental samples. Examples are water and air filtrates, soil, sediment and compost. Thermal decomposition analysis in the form of Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) coupled with a concentration step and GC/MS determination of the breakdown products represents a novel and highly interesting approach. The technique enables indirect characterization of microplastics by chemical analysis providing both qualitative and quantitative results.

Microplastics Webinar

Analyzing environmental samples, including water, for microplastics is a challenging task. In many cases, microplastics must be identified and quantified in the presence of significant amounts of other organic and mineral matter. Thermal analysis techniques combined with GC/MS are promising with regard to providing efficient identification and quantification via polymer marker fragments with only limited sample preparation effort.
