Rethinking Fluorine Analysis: A Novel Approach for Organic Matrices

Accurate fluorine determination in organic matrices like polymers, fuels, and oils remains one of analytical chemistry's most persistent challenges. In this Dedicated Dialogue, Holger Sievers, PhD, Product Manager of Atomic Absorption Spectrometry at Analytik Jena, explains why conventional techniques fall short and introduces a novel approach that combines pyrohydrolytic combustion with high-resolution continuum source molecular absorption spectrometry. This method delivers faster, more sensitive, and more reliable fluorine measurement across a range of industries.

• Understand why fluorine is uniquely difficult to measure using conventional techniques.
• Learn how pyrohydrolytic combustion converts organically bound fluorine into a measurable inorganic form.
• Discover the industries and applications that benefit most from this combined analytical approach from pyrolytic oil to environmental analysis.
