"Analysis of Furan and Alkyl Furans in Food Using SPME Arrow GC-MS" #Technical Document #Application Note

Analysis of furan and alkyl furans in food using SPME Arrow GC-MS.

Using SPME Arrow and the PAL CTC autosampler for sample pretreatment, and the Rxi-624Sil MS column for analysis, we established the GC-MS optimization conditions for furan and alkyl furan in infant formula (hereafter referred to as powdered milk) and coffee samples. The results of this experiment revealed that sample pretreatment using SPME Arrow is suitable for a variety of sample types containing high and low concentrations of furan and alkyl furan. By using SPME Arrow alone for pretreatment, compared to headspace only or a combination of SPME and HS, an increase in productivity for food safety inspection laboratories is expected.

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact on the base material. Repairs can be carried out even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.

● The production time for cast prototypes can be shortened! Since model making is not required, the production time for prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly producing sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! Different products, such as similar shapes or varying dimensions, can be molded at the same time in one molding process. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.

Last month, we held a spring safety conference hosted by our company. We have compiled the details and atmosphere of the day into a PDF. We would appreciate it if you could take a moment to read it.

In recent years, as the importance of data integrity (DI) compliance in GMP environments has increased, there has been a growing call to deepen understanding of 21 CFR Part 11.
