Screening for Extractables and Leachables: QTOF, SWATH® Acquisition and Spectral Libraries

"Extractables and leachables" is a common label for contaminants originating from food or medical packaging. Understanding the risks these contaminants may pose relies on the ability to detect and quantify them. A prerequisite however, is the need to characterize the relevant chemicals.

This webinar will demonstrate how utilizing QTOF technology, data independent acquisition, and customisable spectral libraries, allows for a deep dive into screening extractables and leachables.

The talk will also cover background information on food packaging materials and regulations, followed by a description of method details and presentation of example data. The key takeaways will include method details and the role method parameters play into analytical success.

Those interested in the analytical methodology aspects of extractables and leachables should attend.
