High-Throughput Quantitative Analysis of Benzene in Personal Care Products Using Headspace-SIFT-MS
Author(s)Syft Technologies Inc
This application note demonstrates the speed of headspace-SIFT-MS methods for the analysis of benzene in personal care products (PCPs). In less than three hours, seven-point calibration curves can be generated and accurate quantification of benzene in PCPs achieved. SIFT-MS provides rapid, sensitive, and robust analysis of benzene and other contaminants in a variety of commercial products. Integration with a headspace autosampler enables rapid screening of hundreds of samples per day.
