Py-Screener Ver.2
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.

Technical specifications
Newly Developed High-Speed (22 Minute) Simultaneous Inspection Method for 7 Phthalate Esters and Brominated Flame Retardants
A method has been developed that significantly shortens simultaneous inspection times for phthalate esters and brominated flame retardants. This enables productive and reliable inspections for a wide range of regulated compounds.
Simultaneous Inspections for Phthalate Esters and Brominated Flame Retardants (Total of 20 PBBs and PBDEs)
The system can perform batch inspections for phthalate esters and a total of twenty PBBs and PBDEs with between one and ten bromine atoms. With the new "correction factor database" function, the software automatically generates calibration curves for the compounds not included in the standard sample based on the calibration curve information of the standard sample, allowing the concentration of all of the above compounds to be calculated. A simultaneous screening method for phthalate esters, PBBs, and PBDEs using Py-GC/MS has been studied for standardization under the international analytical standard IEC 62321 3-3.
High Durability Columns Dedicated for Py-Screener Ver. 2
The system is now compatible with inspections with Shimadzu's SH-1MS high-durability column, which includes a guard column as part of its design. This reduces the maintenance burden and running costs by limiting column deterioration, even for customers who screen frequently.
