High-throughput quantitation of toxic impurities in hair and skincare products using headspace-SIFT-MS
14 Aug 2024Personal care products (PCPs) are intended for regular use on the body, yet several volatile organic compounds (VOCs) commonly feature among ingredients of concern. This includes known or suspected carcinogens benzene, 1,4-dioxane, and formaldehyde. Syft Technologies presents the headspace-SIFT-MS (selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry) method, for all-in-one analysis of these three impurities in retail hair and skincare products. See how daily sample throughput can be achieved 8- to 30-fold faster with SIFT-MS compared with conventional GC-MS methods.

Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place.
