This application note demonstrates that automated headspace-SIFT-MS analysis has the potential to screen larger sample numbers for the volatile MOH fraction, providing a rapid indication of packaging material contamination. As benzene has also recently been found to be problematic in commercial products, Headspace-SIFT-MS can screen over 220 samples per day for volatile MOSH and MOAH compounds – nearly seven-fold more samples than the routine liquid and gas chromatography method.
