SayPro Innovations in Analytical Techniques for Microplastic Detection

At SayPro, we are at the forefront of environmental and analytical innovation, delivering cutting-edge solutions for one of today’s most pressing global challenges: microplastic pollution. Our pioneering work in microplastic detection combines scientific rigor with real-world applicability, empowering industries, researchers, and regulatory bodies to accurately identify, quantify, and characterize microplastics across various matrices.

Why Microplastic Detection Matters

Microplastics – plastic particles less than 5mm in size – are now found in oceans, freshwater, soil, air, and even food systems. Their pervasive presence and potential impact on human health and ecosystems have made precise detection more urgent than ever.

Our Analytical Breakthroughs

SayPro’s suite of advanced analytical techniques addresses key challenges in microplastic detection, offering superior accuracy, speed, and scalability:

• Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) & Raman Microscopy
  Our customized FTIR and Raman systems offer high-resolution identification of polymer types at the micrometer scale. Automated image analysis and spectral libraries enable rapid classification of diverse plastic particles in environmental samples.
• Pyrolysis-Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (Py-GC/MS)
  SayPro enhances traditional Py-GC/MS with proprietary sample prep workflows, allowing trace-level detection of microplastics in complex matrices such as sediments, tissues, and wastewater.
• Thermal Extraction Desorption (TED-GC/MS)
  Developed for high-throughput applications, our TED-GC/MS approach quantifies polymer masses without the need for particle counting – ideal for regulatory compliance and bulk monitoring.
• Fluorescent Tagging & Machine Learning-Based Imaging
  Leveraging AI-driven image recognition and biodegradable fluorescent dyes, we enable faster detection and classification of microplastics in real-time water monitoring systems.

Integrated Solutions for Real-World Impact

Our solutions are designed with flexibility and field applicability in mind. From portable analyzers for in-situ assessments to high-throughput lab systems, SayPro technologies integrate seamlessly into environmental monitoring programs, industrial audits, and academic research.

Commitment to Innovation & Sustainability

At SayPro, innovation goes hand-in-hand with sustainability. We invest in green analytical chemistry, minimal-waste sample processing, and biodegradable tracers to reduce the ecological footprint of microplastic research itself.
