Simple Rapid Analysis of Ethylene Oxide in a Polysorbate 80 Excipient Using SIFT-MS

Quantitative ethylene oxide analysis in Polysorbate 80 excipient is greatly simplified using SIFT-MS, with a time to first test result that is eight-fold faster than the current compendial method and a daily sample throughput that is 9- to 14-fold higher. In this application note, a simplified EtO method is presented that uses a much smaller quantity of PS80 for analysis than headspace GC-FID.
