Page 10: Chapter 1 About Multi-Shot Pyrolyzer
Py-GC techniques essential in virtually every type of laboratory. Historically, data obtained using Py-GC has suffered from poor reproducibility and poor recoveries of reactive compounds. Frontier Laboratories has overcome these shortcomings by designing a system based on a technique developed by Emeritus Professor Shin Tsuge of Nagoya University. Professor Tsuge’s technique utilizes a small cup. - Page 11 Double-Shot pyrolyzer PY-2020iD. Four years of research has led to the development of the Multi-Shot pyrolyzer EGA/PY-3030D. The Multi-Shot pyrolyzer EGA/PY-3030D is based on a proprietary high temperature resistant ceramic heater with very low heat capacity.

CHAPTER 5 FOUR ANALYSIS METHODS AND SAMPLE PREPARATION Four analysis methods (Single-Shot, Double-Shot, evolved gas analysis, and Heart-Cut EGA analysis) are described. Refer to Chapter 4 for details about settings and operations. Sampling techniques are also described here. 5.1 SINGLE-SHOT ANALYSIS This method is also called flash pyrolysis. - Page 51 STEP3 Prepare the sample (1) Place 5 µL of the sample in an Eco cup SF and evaporate the solvent.

Page 52: Evolved Gas Analysis (Ega)
5.2 EVOLVED GAS ANALYSIS (EGA) When a polymeric sample is heated, volatile components contained in the polymer are released and ultimately, the polymer is degraded. The result is a plot of sample temperature vs. detector response. Such a plot has been termed a ‘thermogram’. The thermogram provides an indication of the sample complexity. - Page 53 STEP3 Loading sample Place 5 µL of the sample into an Eco cup SF and evaporate the solvent Attach a stick (Eco stick SF) to the sample cup and fix it to the sampler. Push the slider of the sampler down and attach the sampler to the pyrolyzer. Wait for 1 min (Fig. 5.5A). Click the “START”...

Page 54: Double-Shot Analysis
5.3 DOUBLE-SHOT ANALYSIS This is a two-step analysis in which volatiles are analyzed using thermal desorption technique, and the residual polymeric fraction is then pyrolyzed. A typical instrument configuration for the Py-GC/MS is shown in Fig. 5.1. The sample is the supplied polystyrene solution. The analytical conditions for thermal desorption and flash pyrolysis are determined using the EGA thermogram shown in Fig. - Page 55 STEP5 Flash pyrolysis When the GC analysis of the thermally desorbed compounds is completed and the “Ready for pyrolysis” dialog box is displayed, press the sample drop button located at the top end of the sampler to drops the sample cup to the furnace. Now, immediately click “Start” button to start the GC analysis.

Page 56: Heart-Cut Analysis
Selective Sampler (optional). Also for analysis of low boiling evolved gases with C or less requires a cryo trap. Frontier Laboratories MicroJet Cryo-Trap is highly recommended. The setup for a typical Heart-Cut EGA analysis is shown in Fig. 5.9. By using the Selective Sampler and MicroJet Cryo-Trap, a maximum of eight temperature zones can be automatically analyzed by GC/MS. - Page 57 STEP1 Instrument set up Attach Selective Sampler and separation column. STEP2 Setting analytical conditions for pyrolyzer and GC (see Fig. 5.11) Set ITF TEMP to “Auto” mode. Set the furnace temperature and others in “Heart-Cut EGA Analysis” screen.

Page 58: Sample Preparations
5.5 SAMPLE PREPARATIONS In the Single-Shot analysis (flash pyrolysis) using Py-GC/MS, a sample form, shape and condition affect results as well as the reproducibility. If the sample is soluble in a solvent, it is recommended to dissolve it in the solvent, place in a sample cup, and evaporate the solvent to form a film on the surface of the sample cup. - Page 59 A2) Using pulverizing tool (Polymer Prepper from Frontier Laboratories Ltd.)

Page 63: Replacing And Cleaning Quartz Pyrolysis Tube
Frontier Laboratories recommends that the liner be inspected after 200 injections or whenever there is a loss of analytical precision. The instruction for replacing the contaminated pyrolysis tube with a new one is provided below. - Page 64 (4) Remove ITF union N using a 12 mm wrench. The ITF union and pyrolysis tube may stick together. When this happens, heat the ITF union with a torch to detach the pyrolysis tube from interface needle. If the ITF union is separated from the pyrolysis tube, remove the liquid sampler located at the top of the pyrolyzer.
- Page 65 (8) Tighten the ITF union slowly about 1/4 turn using a 12 mm wrench. The amount to be tightened depends on the tolerance of the pyrolysis tube and graphite Vespel ferrule. (9) Attach the heat sink adapter. Secure the adapter so that there is no large gap between the adapter and interface block.
- Page 66 6.1.2.2 Solvent cleaning When a large amount of material is pyrolyzed, the upper part of the tube (A in Fig. 6.2) may be contaminated with high boiling compounds. After cooling the furnace to room temperature, the contamination is removed by rubbing the inner wall of the tube with a cotton swab dampened with a solvent as shown in the figure below.

6.1.3 Interface needle (ITF needle N) The end of the interface needle is very sharp. When handling the CAUTION needle, wear protective gears such as safety goggles for your safety. 6.1.3.1 Clogging by sample contamination Needle contamination consists of mostly tars and stained tars. The most effective way to clean a contaminated needle is to sonicate it in an appropriate solvent. -
Page 68: Gc Injection Port
6.1.4 GC injection port 6.1.4.1 Septa When the pyrolyzer is installed on a GC, the injection port is in close contact with the heat sink adapter; therefore, the temperature of the septum is at least 50°C higher than its normal operating temperature. -
