An article regarding polymeric material analysis using the JMS-T2000GC and JMS-S3000 has been published on “Mass Spectrometry”, an English journal published by the Mass Spectrometry Society of Japan.

In this article, we analyzed ultraviolet-induced degradation of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) by (i) analyzing the changes in the main chain structure using a high-performance GC-TOFMS "AccuTOF™ GC-Alpha" and msFineAnalysis AI Ver.2 and (ii) analyzing the changes in end groups in the depth direction using a high-resolution MALDI-TOFMS "SpiralTOF™-plus 3.0." The results showed that the complementary analysis using both instruments is effective for analyzing the degradation of PET.
