Residual Solvents Test

Method Description

The Determination of Residual Solvents by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry with Headspace Sampling (GC-MS-HS) involves heating a sample to release volatile residues, which are then analyzed by GC-MS. This method ensures the detection and quantification of residual solvents in diverse matrices. GC-MS-HS provides high sensitivity and accuracy, making it essential in industries such as pharmaceuticals, ensuring compliance with safety standards and regulatory requirements. By efficiently identifying and quantifying residual solvents, this technique contributes to the quality control of products and ensures the safety of consumers.
