Emissions Sampling & Analysis

Building Materials, Furniture, Consumer Goods, Construction Adhesives

Emissions Sampling and Analysis at MAS places samples into controlled temperature and humidity environments, and at set time intervals, byproducts that offgassed are collected. These byproducts are characterized using TD/GC/MS and HPLC. Calculations are performed based on these results and comparison to standards set by various regulatory bodies.


VOC’s, formaldehyde, and other outgassing components are characterized, quantified, and modeled. MAS has 4 sizes of controlled-environment chambers suitable to many sizes of samples. Chemical Analysis capabilities at MAS often complement our Emissions Analysis projects
