Due to the corona crisis hand sanitizer became part of our daily routine. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers with at least 60 to 95% alcohol is recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO), with the main components being ethanol, isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and/or n-propanol. To determine the effectiveness and impurities of the hand sanitizer a GC analysis can be performed. This analysis faces many challenges since hand sanitizer is made in a water matrix, which is a difficult matrix for Gas Chromatography....

Method of choice: The combination of size exclusion chromatography (SEC) and light scattering detection (LS) determines molecular weight, especially for higher molecular species such as aggregates or oligomers. As an additional plus sample size and topology can also be revealed. Special attention needs to be turned to the quality of SEC columns in order to provide signals unaffected by spikes. YMC’s SEC columns support LS-detection perfectly due to a high level of inertness...
