In one embodiment, the present method includes the steps of introducing a volume of a sample into a vapor delivery line and volatilizing at least a portion of the volume as it is carried through the vapor delivery line. At least a portion of the volatilized volume contacts a sensor element, which produces a signal that is monitored to reveal information about the sample. All components upstream of the sensor element are substantially free of sorbent materials so that the sample volume does not contact a substantially sorbent material before contacting the sensor element.

Method and apparatus for rapid screening of volatiles

The present invention is directed to a method for the rapid screening of potential reactants, catalysts, and associated process conditions. In an embodiment, the invention comprises a method for evaluating catalyst efficacy in polymerization reactions by the determination of product molecular weight and Fries products.

Method for high-throughput fluorescent screening of polymerization reactions

A method for determining the concentration of a dihydric phenol in the presence of a monohydric phenol uses spectroscopic detection at at least two wavelengths. Because the method does not require a chemical separation of the dihydric phenol and monohydric phenol, it is very rapid and particularly suitable for the analysis of large numbers of samples, such as those derived from combinatorial libraries.
