Advantages of LCMS-IT-TOF Mass Spectrometry in Identifying Polymer Additives

Identifying additives in polymer formulations is a critical step for product formulation. Additives must be examined for performance, health, safety and cost of manufacture. Liquid chromatography with 3-D ion trap time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LCMS-IT-TOF) is an ideal way to analyze a mass of components eluting from the HPLC column, and for structural elucidation.
