SIFT-MS: Quantifying the Volatiles You Smell…and the Toxics You Don’t
The human olfactory system is highly attuned to detection of a wide range of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), but the sensitivity varies considerably based on chemical functionality.

Addition of fast gas chromatography to selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry for analysis of individual monoterpenes in mixtures [PDF]
Soft chemical ionization mass spectrometry (SCI-MS) techniques can be used to accurately quantify volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in air in real time; however, differentiation of isomers still represents a challenge.

Evaluation of Solvent Compatibilities for Headspace-SIFT-MS Analysis of Pharmaceutical Products
Procedures for determination of the residual solvent and volatile impurity content in pharmaceutical products usually rely on dissolution in a solvent, followed by headspace-gas chromatography (HS-GC) analysis. Whereas chromatographic systems can utilize

Formaldehyde and glyoxal measurement deploying a selected ion flow tube mass spectrometer (SIFT-MS) [PDF]
Formaldehyde (FM) and glyoxal (GL) are important atmospheric species of indoor and outdoor environments. They are either directly emitted in the atmosphere, or they are formed through the oxidation of organic compounds by indoor and/or outdoor ...

Sniffing Out Urinary Tract Infection—Diagnosis Based on Volatile Organic Compounds and Smell Profile
Current available methods for the clinical diagnosis of urinary tract infection (UTI) rely on a urine dipstick test or culturing of pathogens. The dipstick test is rapid (available in 1–2 min), but has a low positive predictive value, while culturing is ...

Repeatability of the measurement of exhaled volatile metabolites using selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry [PDF]
Selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry, SIFT-MS, has been used to determine the repeatability of the analysis of volatile metabolites within the breath of healthy volunteers, with emphasis on the influence of sampling methodology. Baseline instrument specific coefficients of variability for examined metabolites were as follows: acetone (1%), ammonia (
