Characterization of packaging in various industries has become more important due to ever-increasing global regulations. The first regulations for plastics used in food packaging and contact materials were established in 1982 in Europe1, which have been expanded in recent years.2 In the pharmaceutical field the need for extractables testing was recognized in the 1990s.3 Manufacturers…
The spatial distribution of molecules throughout a sample can provide a wealth of information regarding biological, physiological, and chemical phenomena and processes. One of the most recent and exciting developments in the study of molecular distributions has been the use of mass spectrometry (MS) to specifically measure molecular targets in order to determine their distribution…

In August 2014, the United States Pharmacopeia and the National Formulary (USP-NF) put into effect new guidelines to “allowable adjustments” in its Chapter <621> (USP37-NF32 S1). And as of August 1, 2016 when USP 39 NF 34 S1 goes into effect, for <621> nothing significant has changed since. The USP doesn’t publicize changes to their…
Food Contact Materials (FCMs) cover a variety of materials and articles that come in contact with food during its lifetime, from food manufacturing through to preparation in our own kitchens. Food contact materials can be constructed from a variety of materials such as plastics, rubber, paper, coatings, metals etc. The interest in food contact material’s…
Are you being asked to reduce laboratory costs and increase laboratory efficiency while ensuring your data meets regulatory expectations? The amount of data being produced by your chromatography data system (CDS) increases every year. Being able to acquire, process and report your data efficiently and effectively can be a significant challenge. Being able to find…
It’s a critical part of your laboratory. It contributes to the overall productivity and is the foundation to simplify your overall operations. Everyone is acutely aware of its day-to-day challenges, has common concerns, and can recognize the potential risks, but nobody wants to talk about it. No, it’s not the newly installed coffee machine in…
With the ever-increasing number of compounds that need to be monitored at low concentrations in a wide variety of complex food commodities, pesticide residue analysis in food has become a more challenging task. There is a need for qualitative multi-analyte screening strategies that are capable of efficiently detecting residue violations to protect consumer safety. Because…
