Extractables and leachables from food packaging have the potential to cause serious health issues. To ensure consumer safety and regulatory compliance, testing labs need to have reliable methods for the detection of these contaminants in food contact materials (FCMs). 

Using a Shimadzu quadrupole time-of-flight (Q-TOF) mass spectrometer, we developed a proven method for fast, accurate identification of extractables and leachables in FCMs.

Watch the video to learn how you can analyze common food storage products, including a plastic bag, a plastic cup and aluminum foil, in a total run time of 15 minutes.


Fast, Reliable Detection of Extractables & Leachables in Food

Management of the mobile phase is of great importance in HPLC analysis. Making sure you have sufficient mobile phase in the system—before batch analysis—is critical to keeping your lab running smoothly. For this reason, Shimadzu’s Nexera UHPLC series enables real-time monitoring of mobile phase levels to ensure maximum uptime. The instrument monitors solvents gravimetrically and notifies lab personnel if there isn’t enough mobile phase to complete the batch run. Watch the video to learn about this key operation that provides maximum uptime and productivity.  

Real-Time Mobile Phase Monitoring with the Nexera UHPLC Series

Helium is the most commonly used carrier gas for hydrocarbon analysis by gas chromatography. 
However, helium supplies are running critically low and prices are increasing.

Fortunately, there is another carrier gas that can generate the same fast, accurate results you see with helium at a lower cost. Hydrogen achieves similar chromatographic separation to helium at higher flow rates, resulting in faster analysis times and increased throughput.

Watch the video to learn how you can easily convert your gas chromatography methods from helium to hydrogen using Shimadzu's Nexis GC-2030.

Converting GC Methods from Helium to Hydrogen

This video will walk you through the analysis using the LabSolutions UV-Vis software’s Evaluation Function. The function allows you to create automatic Pass/Fail Judgements, and other types of statistical information such as point pick, peak/valley identification and average values.<br/>https://www.shimadzu.com/an/data-net/labsolutions/molecular_spectro/uv/video.html

LabSolutions UV-Vis - Data Evaluation Function

This video will walk you through the analysis using the optional LabSolutions UV-Vis Color software. The software allows you to measure in CIELAB, CIELUV, XYZ and other color scales, as well as evaluate data to give a pass/fail rating on other parameters. Data can be measured directly with the Color software or analysis can be applied to previous data. <br/>https://www.shimadzu.com/an/data-net/labsolutions/molecular_spectro/uv/index.html
