About our Py-GC-MS calibration standards: Py-GC-MS is a powerful and complex, but still developing analytical technique, particularly when applied to complex polymers and mixed material- or environmental samples. Calibration plays an important role in method development and performance evaluation, and we recognise that no single standard can address all analytical challenges.

​

Our calibration standards are therefore designed to support method familiarisation, comparison, and quality control, rather than to represent a universal or final solution.

 

When working with Py-GC-MS, we recommend starting with simple systems and gradually increasing sample complexity. Beginning with single-polymer materials allows characteristic pyrolysis products to be established before progressing to multi-polymer mixtures. The basic and advanced polymer kits represent increasingly complex samples; the advanced kit is also intended to explore methodological limitations and is therefore best used once the method is well understood.

 

As the field continues to evolve, we are continuously working to refine and improve our standards based on ongoing research, user feedback, and practical laboratory experience. We do not have all the answers; rather, we see this as a collaborative process and are strongly motivated to explore open questions together with our users. We are committed to supporting our clients, discussing analytical challenges, and learning alongside them as methodologies continue to develop.

​

We encourage users to contact us with questions, feedback, or specific analytical needs; these exchanges directly contribute to the continued improvement of our calibration standards.
