Get your resource kit for Food Contact Materials (FCM) testing

Characterization of packaging and food contact materials used in the food industriy is becoming more critical due to ever-increasing global regulations. The safety of foodstuffs may be compromised by chemical compounds in various types of packaging that are in direct contact with consumer products.

Waters provides comprehensive support to the food industry to ensure the safety considerations of your packaging material are met.

Find out how we can help you have more accurate, rapid and reproducible results on your identification of extractables, leachables and NIAS contaminants.

The examination of Extractable and Leachable substances is extremely important for the protection of your customers, brand reputation and regulatory compliance. Manufacturers must carefully control and monitor their products to eliminate the potential risks associated with extractables, leachables and non-intentionally added substances (NIAS).

Waters provides a comprehensive solution including liquid chromatography, Atmospheric Pressur GC, convergence chromatography, mass spectrometry, supercritical fluid extraction, consumables, standards and high quality scientific library, that enable accurate, rapid, and cost effective identification and quantification of extractable, leachable, and NIAS contaminants.

The resource kit includes:

• On demand Webinar #1: Get a full description of analytical methods for the testing of food contact materials (FCMs) and non-intentionally added substances (NIAS) using high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS).
• On demand Webinar #2: In this webinar, Cristina Nerin, PhD. in Analytical Chemistry, University of Zaragoza (Spain), describes the latest methods for identifying challenging compounds with the potential to migrate into foodstuffs using high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS).
• Testimonial: Learn how to use UPLC and the Xevo G2-XS to separate then detect unknown compounds in food packaging materials at levels as low as 1 ppb.
• Application note: Learn how to identify non-intentionally added substances (NIAS) in food contact materials using APGC-Xevo G2 XS Q-Tof and UNIFI software.
• Application note: In this application note we describe a sensitive LC-MS/MS method for the analysis of 23 common PAAs with very easy sample preparation.
• Application note: This application note describes the analysis of paper and board food packaging extracts. This method enables confident identification of previously unknown compounds with the potential to migrate into foodstuffs.
• Application note: This study demonstrates an integrated workflow for targeted and non-targeted screening using UPLC and GC on a single MS platform with UNIFI informatics for extractable and leachable screening in e-cigarettes, food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical packaging applications.
