• Spectroscopic Analysis Equipment

pH has a significant impact on the ionization state of specific analytes. For example, a base with a pKa of 8.5 is 99% ionized at pH 6.5 using the 2 pH unit rule and 99% non-ionized at pH 10.5. When the analyte is close to its own pKa, unstable chromatograms may be observed, so it is necessary to adjust the pH to achieve the appropriate ionization state. Differences in the surface activity of vial glass and the leaching of hydrolysis products that affect the sample pH can be confirmed by monitoring the pH changes of deionized water stored in the vial. To investigate how the quality of glass, represented by the expansion coefficient, affects the pH of the solution, we measured the fluctuations in the pH of 18 MΩ pure water stored in an autosampler vial for a certain period at room temperature and compared the results with those obtained using polypropylene containers as a control.

Surgical masks are worn by healthcare professionals during tasks such as surgeries, and like other medical devices, they need to be sterilized to eliminate bacteria and viruses. In some countries, sterilization using ethylene oxide is performed. On the other hand, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has stated that "ethylene oxide may have harmful effects on the wearer, and therefore is not recommended for the sterilization of masks that are worn on the face," and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) does not approve the use of ethylene oxide as a sterilant. Therefore, it is necessary to test that ethylene oxide and 2-chloroethanol, which is generated during its sterilization process, are sufficiently removed from the final product. This technical document introduces a high-sensitivity and cost-effective analysis method for ethylene oxide and 2-chloroethanol in medical masks using capillary column GC-FID analysis.

The detection and identification of illegal substances or suspicious materials of unknown origin is difficult, often involving complex analytical processes, which can take time to yield final results. Furthermore, high reliability, confirmed by many points, is essential for final identification. Generally, all suspicious substances seized by law enforcement agencies must be sent to scientific investigation agencies for testing. Drug testing kits can be used for the identification of certain classes of drugs, but identifying the exact active substances in unknown powders or liquids, especially new substances in drugs like "legal highs," is often challenging. When using mass spectrometry, high mass accuracy data is essential to gain the necessary selectivity in complex matrices and enhance the reliability of compound identification. By measuring the molecular weight of chemical substances with sufficient accuracy, analysts can determine the elemental composition and identify the chemical structure of substances using isotope ratios and fragmentation patterns.

The detection and quantification of pesticides, contaminants, and other chemical residues is particularly important when the food is intended for infants. Many pesticide products have a maximum residue limit (MRL) typically set at 10 μg/kg, but the European Union (EU) has established MRLs for certain pesticides banned for use in baby food at 3 to 8 μg/kg. In the worst-case scenario, such pesticides and their metabolites can exceed the acceptable daily intake (ADI) for infants. The high sensitivity and selectivity of GC-MS/MS allow for the detection and quantification of regulated residues even in baby food containing multiple ingredients. This application note presents a case study of the analysis of pesticide residues in baby food using a high-sensitivity Advanced EI ion source. The increased sensitivity allows for the dilution of sample extracts, reduces system contamination, and is expected to enhance laboratory productivity.

Quality control of oligonucleotides requires confirmation of mass, determination of sample purity, and yield. Oligonucleotides show strong absorption at 260 nm, making quantification easily achievable through UV detection. However, mass confirmation of the analyte requires mass spectrometry. Additionally, quality control necessitates fast and robust methods to ensure high throughput. These can be achieved by combining instruments such as the Thermo Scientific ISQ EM single quadrupole mass spectrometer and the Thermo Scientific Vanquish Flex binary UHPLC system. This paper introduces two workflows for data analysis. Both use peak areas from UV and MS detection to determine the relative abundance of analytes within the sample. However, the first workflow identifies analytes based on the ion species with the highest signal intensity at m/z. The second workflow employs deconvolution of mass spectra for mass determination and analyte identification.

To ensure sufficient performance of the chromatographic system, the system suitability test (SST) requires the injection of standard samples and evaluation according to the procedure manual. The European Pharmacopoeia (EP) general chapter (Chromatographic Separation Techniques 2.2.46) defines the acceptable deviations for EP methods. Particularly, since only slight changes are permitted under gradient conditions, it is crucial to ensure that sufficient results are obtained with the original method. In high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), minimizing the system's dead volume can lead to a mismatch between the sample solvent and the initial gradient composition, resulting in inadequate mixing and the appearance of front peaks or split peaks. Therefore, a custom injection program can be used to reduce the impact of the injection solvent without changing the injection volume or the solvent used to dissolve the sample. This document demonstrates the usefulness of the custom injection program for meeting system suitability criteria such as symmetry, resolution, and efficiency, without altering the EP method for mebendazole.
