Py-Screener Ver.2
Screening System for Phthalate Esters and Brominated Flame Retardants

Making the Difficult simple
Py-Screener™ Ver. 2 is designed to screen for brominated flame retardants, such as PBBs and PBDEs, and phthalate esters in polymers. These substances are regulated under the Directive on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS (II) Directive) in Europe. The pyrolyzer GC/MS (Py-GC/MS) is used to selectively detect and quantify these restricted substances thermally extracted from samples. This screening system consists of a sampling toolkit, special standards, and special software and can be easily operated even by novices.
