Real-Time Measurement of EPA Regulated HON Compounds and Environmental Pollutants Using SIFT-MS

When integrated into pharmaceutical enterprises, scientific data has the potential to drive organizational growth and innovation. Mikael Hagstroem, CEO at leading laboratory informatics provider LabVantage Solutions, discusses how technology partners add significant value to pharmaceutical R&D, in addition to manufacturing quality.

This study demonstrates high-throughput analysis of BTEX compounds from several matrices (air, water and soil). Detection limits in the single-digit part-per-billion concentration range (by volume) are readily achievable within seconds using SIFT-MS because sample analysis is achieved without chromatography, pre-concentration, or drying. We also present a calibration approach that enables speciation of ethylbenzene from the xylenes in real-time.

This application note summarizes key SIFT-MS results presented in a peer reviewed article entitled “Unreported VOC Emissions from Road Transport Including from Electric Vehicles.” Learn how the Wolfson Atmospheric Chemistry Laboratory at the University of York used SIFT-MS for VOC analysis in its platform to experimentally verify that motor vehicle screen wash is a significant unreported source of VOC emissions (especially for ethanol and methanol).

Artificial intelligence (AI) can improve risk assessment and decision-making in drug development by applying objective, data-driven criteria consistently. Companies should focus on the quality of data, selecting the right AI use cases, and leveraging external partners to maximize the potential of AI.
