Compounds Included
Why Residual Solvent Testing
Consumer Safety
To ensure harmful solvents used during extraction are not present at toxic levels.
Product Purity
Confirms the cleanliness of the extraction process, ensuring high-quality, contaminant-free oil.
Process Validation
Verifies that the extraction and purging methods are effectively remove solvents as intended.
Machine We Use
What is GC-MS (Headspace Gas Chromatography / Mass Spectrometry) ?
GC-MS (Headspace Gas Chromatography / Mass Spectrometry) is a technique used to analyze volatile compounds present in a sample's headspace, which is the gas layer above the sample. This method is particularly useful for analyzing residual solvents in various materials, including polymers, pharmaceuticals, and food products.
How It Works
The GC-MS technique, particularly with the headspace method, is used to analyze volatile and semi-volatile compounds released from a sample. The process involves heating the sample to release volatile components into the headspace above it. These components are then separated by gas chromatography (GC), and subsequently analyzed and identified using mass spectrometry (MS).
Why We Use It
We use it to detect trace levels of volatile compounds with high accuracy and ensure product safety.
Amount To Send
Please ensure your sample is sufficient for the requested test, as the required amount depends on the test type. For Residual Solvent, please submit 2 grams per sample. Testing will begin promptly upon receipt.
