Monitoring VOC Emissions from Respiratory Medical Devices
16 Oct 2017This application note describes the monitoring of potentially harmful volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds (VOCs and SVOCs) emitted from respiratory medical devices. Respiratory devices are commonly used to deliver air, oxygen or anesthetics to patients with a variety of medical conditions. The potential presence of contaminants is a growing concern as this could ultimately be detrimental to the patient's health.

GC-MS GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) instruments and equipment are used to separate, quantify and identify mixtures of small and volatile compounds, such as polycyclic aromatics, fatty acids and alcohols. Often used in drug detection, forensic investigation and environmental analysis for pesticides and contaminants, GC-MS is a powerful addition to your lab’s analytical capabilities. GC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzers can give greater sensitivity and resolution to your analysis. Find the best GC-MS instruments and equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.RegulatoryPharmaceutical regulations impact on all areas of drug development, manufacture and control and supply. Services are provided from the early stages of drug development and clinical trials through to dossier submission, approval and marketing. Regulatory also includes submission of analytical studies from the pharmaceutical product and safety. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are chemicals that have a low boiling point. Some VOCs are harmful to human health, whereas others can be used to determine the shelf-life of foods samples. Thermal DesorptionThermal desorption is a technique used to release volatile compounds from solid samples by heating them. It is often used in environmental testing and analysis of complex materials.
