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....
The Microlute™ CP range of Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) 96-well microplates and cartridges from Porvair Sciences takes SPE to a new level of performance by enhancing the reproducibility of analyte extraction and recovery from biological, environmental and chemical samples.

TESTA Analytical Solutions e.K. reports on widespread interest from European laboratories for performance qualifying their particle size, zeta potential and GPC/SEC instruments. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a huge effect on the daily operations of most laboratories. Restrictions concerning personnel on site has had a major impact on proven processes and standard operating procedures (SOP). As such, a new uncertainty has arisen about the qualification of measurement devices used for a particular application...
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...
