Pyrolysis Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (Pyrolysis GC/MS) is a highly effective technique for microplastic analysis, enabling precise identification and characterization of polymer types in environmental, industrial, and consumer product samples.
By thermally decomposing microplastic particles into characteristic molecular fragments, Py-GC/MS allows for reliable polymer fingerprinting and quantification even at very small particle sizes. Polygone’s advanced Py-GC/MS analysis service supports environmental monitoring, regulatory compliance, product safety, and general microplastic research, guided by published standards including ASTM D8401.
Purpose: Microplastic chemical identification & precise mass data
Timeframe: 5–10 business days
Report Deliverables:
Chemical identification (chemical identification for selected particles, e.g., PE, PP, PET, PS)
Mass-based quantification (total mass of microplastics per liter of sample)
Note: Accurate quote based on sample status
