Screening Workflow for Extractables Testing Using the UNIFI Scientific Information System
Characterization of packaging, food contact materials, medical devices, and many other consumables used in various industries is becoming more important due to ever-increasing global regulations.
The initial step in characterizing extractables from packaging includes targeted screening, i.e. testing the extracts for known compounds. This is a well-established process and can be performed in various ways by using analytical techniques ranging from GC-FID-MS to LC-UV-MS. However, the final packaging may have impurities present from starting materials and additional degradants such as those formed during the molding process. The structural elucidation of unknowns is typically a very complex and time-consuming process that requires the analyst to have a high level of
expertise.
This technical note describes a simple workflow and methodology for the screening and characterization of cosmetics, 3D printing media, food and pharmaceutical packaging extractable applications.
