This application note presents results for analysis of the polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in polymers using the 5975 inert MSD
This document presents the full mass spectra of octa-, nona-, and decabrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) obtained using the Agilent 5975 inert MSD. The note highlights the system's expanded mass range up to 1050 u, which allows for the detection of ions beyond the capabilities of the previous 5973 platform. It details the electron impact ionization parameters and scan modes used for these high-mass compounds.
