The COVID-19 pandemic generated a significant demand for products needed to protect ourselves and the people around us from infection, putting pressure on manufacturers of these products to provide assurance of quality and compliance with official regulations. This webinar will explain how gas chromatography (GC) can support industries involved in the production of personal protective equipment (PPE) or hygiene products, such as hand sanitizers, with cost-effective, robust analytical solutions to ensure quality and safety.
Fully compliant to current official US-FDA and USP <611> guidelines and regulations, the GC analysis, combined with software advanced capabilities, has demonstrated effectiveness for the quantification of impurities in hand sanitizers and allows for quality assurance for the declared alcohol content. This webinar will show how headspace (HS)-GC can be used to ensure that no harmful volatile impurities, such as residuals of ethylene oxide sterilizing agent, are present in surgical-style face masks.
