  • In the analysis of residual solvents in pharmaceuticals, the headspace method is the norm. In this method, samples such as finished dosage formulations, active pharmaceutical ingredients, and pharmaceutical additives are dissolved in a suitable solvent, sealed in a vial, and heated for a set period of time. The volatile components of the gas phase in the vial are then analyzed.
  • In the analysis of residual solvents in pharmaceuticals, the ideal combination consists of the GC-2010 Plus capillary gas chromatograph, which features easy split ratio settings and is capable of full digital flow control even for the detector gas, together with the HS-20 NX headspace sampler, which provides consistently reliable quantitation due to high repeatability and low carryover.
  • The flame ionization detector (FID) features the world's highest sensitivity level of 1.5 pgC/sec, and is capable of detecting even a trace quantity of solvents. In addition, using the system in combination with the LabSolutions (GC) workstation enables the headspace analysis conditions to be included in the same method for management and storage.
