Agilent Technologies / ASMS: Beyond Aligners: Unmasking Hidden Extractables and Leachables in Orthodontic Devices</strong></h3><ul><li>Poster</li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/ps_7250_extractables_leachables_asms_2025_tp_318_en_ucsf_3e88cfbf5c.pdf"><strong>Full PDF for download</strong></a></li></ul><p>Increasingly popular in orthodontics, clear aligners promised to users’ improved comfort, compliance and flexibility. It also came with prolonged intraoral exposure. The literature on the potential for leaching components of the polymer used to manufacture the invisible aligners is sparse. Despite the benefits, user submitted cases in the FDA retrospective analysis report several adverse effect ranging from swelling, hives, itchiness and even difficulty breathing1 . Previous works examined the potential of leaching in retainers but used conditions far from the in-vivo setting2 . We used samples closest to user conditions and harnessed the power of Gas Chromatography High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (GC-HRMS) and the power of curated and annotated libraries to find candidate compounds that could be at the origin of the reported adverse effects. We also used multivariate statistics to establish relationships between the compounds and metadata.</p><h4><strong>Experimental</strong></h4><h5><strong>Sample Analysis&nbsp;</strong></h5><p>Samples were analyzed using the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/library?manufacturerItems=1&amp;search=7250"><strong>Agilent 7250 accurate mass GC-qTOF</strong></a> equipped with the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/library?manufacturerItems=1&amp;search=8890+GC"><strong>8890 GC</strong></a> and a DB-5MS UI column (30m x 0.25 x 0.25). The inlet temperature was 280°C and the transfer line temperature was 325°C. The oven program was as follows: 50°C for 1 min, ramp at 25°C to 170°C, hold for 1 min; then ramp at 15°C to 300°C, hold for 10 min; then ramp at 20 °C to 325°C and hold for 5 min. The solvent delay was 4 min. The data were acquired in electron ionization (EI) mode using mass range 45 to 1000 m/z. The source temperature was 230°C, and the emission current was 5 µA. A mix of alkanes was run along with the samples and blanks and an Extractables and Leachables (E&amp;L) standard mixture was run as a quality check.&nbsp;</p><h5><strong>Data Analysis&nbsp;</strong></h5><p>Retention indices were used in consolidating library matches in both the Agilent HRMS E&amp;L library and the NIST23 library. Data analysis was conducted on Unknown Analysis software from Agilent that performs compound annotation based on library matching and retention index. All compounds were individually reviewed based on ExactMass, retention index delta and library match factor (Figure 2). Canonical Correlation Analysis was performed using the FactoMineR package in R.</p><h4><strong>Conclusions</strong></h4><p>The aligners used in the current study were approved in the late 90s when E&amp;Ls methods were not as prominent or sensitive as they are today. This study stands out with:&nbsp;</p><ul><li>The first report of numerous E&amp;L compounds with known potential adverse effects in a population of clear aligner users&nbsp;</li><li>Providing an insight of the relationships between E&amp;Ls and user’s metadata such as age, DWT and TSS&nbsp;</li><li>Providing the necessary libraries to find parent compounds and their potential metabolites</li></ul><h3><strong>2. EST Analytical: Optimization of 1,4-Dioxane and Ethanol Detection Using USEPA Method 8260</strong></h3><ul><li>Application note</li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/Purge_and_Trap_1_4_Dioxane_and_Ethanol_by_8260_App_Note_b669c79f53.pdf"><strong>Full PDF for download</strong></a></li></ul><p>During the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, 1, 4-Dioxane is used as a cleansing agent. It is also a byproduct of plastic manufacturing. The most likely exposure to 1, 4-Dioxane is at an industrial site. However, if any 1, 4-Dioxane is released into the environment during manufacturing there is a potential for it to migrate into ground water. The fact that 1, 4-Dioxane is so miscible in water makes degradation of the chemical challenging. Ethanol, on the other hand, has been a popular gasoline additive. Since it burns more quickly and completely than gasoline, emissions from car exhaust are decreased. The downside of this is underground storage tank leakage and fuel spills cause ground water and drinking water to be contaminated with both the fuel and the ethanol additive. Since ethanol is also very miscible in water, the detection of ethanol contamination in water can be difficult.&nbsp;</p><p>There have been several innovations that help overcome the obstacles of detecting 1, 4-Dioxane and Ethanol. The first one is the SIM mode of the mass spectrometer. This mode allows better detection of hard to extract compounds. Furthermore, mass spectrometers are now equipped to run SIM/Scan, this not only helps detect more difficult compounds, but also enables the detection of an extensive list of USEPA Method 8260 compounds without having to run the samples twice. Advancements in purge and trap sampling have also facilitated better detection of these compounds. Most effective in this has been the ability to heat the samples. However, there are drawbacks to better detection. The most problematic of these is the tendency of 1, 4-Dioxane and Ethanol to “stick” to the glass ware. This susceptibility has caused many headaches in environmental labs.&nbsp;</p><p>This application note will investigate seven variations of purge and trap sampling. The data will then be evaluated in order to recommend the optimum purge and trap sampling parameters for your lab.</p><h4><strong>Experimental</strong></h4><p>The sampling system used for this study was the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/products/2160"><strong>EST Analytical Evolution concentrator</strong></a> affixed with a Vocarb 3000 trap. The <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/products/2159"><strong>Centurion WS autosampler</strong></a> equipped with the syringe option was employed as the autosampler. The separation and analysis were performed by an <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/library?manufacturerItems=1&amp;search=7890A"><strong>Agilent 7890A Gas Chromatograph (GC)</strong></a> and <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/library?manufacturerItems=1&amp;search=5975C"><strong>5975C inert XL Mass Spectrometer (MS)</strong></a>. The GC was configured with a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/library?manufacturerItems=9&amp;search=Rxi-624+Sil+MS"><strong>Restek Rxi-624 Sil MS</strong></a> 30m x 0.25mm x 1.4µm column. The purge and trap parameters used for this study are listed in Tables 1 and 2 while Table 3 shows the GC/MS parameters.</p><h4><strong>Conclusions</strong></h4><p>All seven purge and trap parameter iterations passed the USEPA Method 8260 requirements for linearity and method detection limits. The problem with some of the experimental parameters was found in the carryover and precision and accuracy studies. The carryover using the traditional sparge vessel showed a large amount of carryover for the Ethanol and 1, 4-Dioxane. Since the carryover was so high, the precision and accuracy data suffered. The Fritless/Bulbless sparge vessel, on the other hand, displayed much lower carryover for the Ethanol and 1, 4-Dioxane especially when the patented sparge bake was not used. However, the 1, 2, 4-Trichlorobenzene, Naphthalene and 1, 2, 3-Trichlorobenzene carryover after the 50ppb standard was above the lower limit of the curve. Thus, the sparge bake would be recommended in order to limit the carryover of the heavier compounds. The optimum purge and trap parameters proved to be the patented water extraction technique. This technique provided linearity and method detection limits that met the USEPA Method 8260 requirements, while providing excellent precision and accuracy data. During water extraction, the sample is transferred to an empty 40ml vial and then purged in the soil station of the Centurion. The “fresh” vial provides a clean sparge vessel for every sample thus limiting carryover for both the Ethanol and 1, 4-Dioxane and for the heavy compounds. This lack of carryover aided in providing optimum precision and accuracy and carryover results and would be the recommended method for examining these troublesome compounds.</p><h3><strong>3. Shimadzu / ASMS: Quantitation of Acetaldehyde, Ethylene Oxide, 2-Chloroethanol, Ethylene Glycol, 1,4-Dioxane &amp; Diethylene Glycol in PEG 3350 by using dynamic headspace GC-MS/MS</strong></h3><ul><li>Poster</li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/ASMS_2025_TP_301_ad1ab4ac3e.pdf"><strong>Full PDF for download</strong></a></li></ul><p>Polyethylene glycol 3350 (PEG 3350) is used to treat occasional constipation and it is in a class of medications called osmotic laxatives. PEG 3350 is an addition polymer of ethylene oxide and water with formula H(OCH2CH2)n OH, in which n represents the average number of oxyethylene groups.

However, acrylamide and HAAs can be difficult to analyze due to their high polarity and high interferences from hard water samples. Additionally, β-estradiol requires a very low level of detection (1 ng/L) compared to the other compounds (acrylamide 0.1 µg/L and HAAs 60&nbsp;µg/L). The analysis uses a&nbsp;1290 Infinity II LC coupled to a&nbsp;6495D LC/TQ for analysis of water samples.</p><h4><strong>Experimental</strong></h4><h5><strong>Instrumentation&nbsp;</strong></h5><p>Chromatographic separation was performed using an <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lcms.labrulez.com/library?mainauthorItems=10&amp;search=InfinityLab+Poroshell+120+Aq-C18"><strong>Agilent&nbsp;InfinityLab Poroshell 120 Aq-C18</strong></a>, 3.0 × 150&nbsp;mm, 2.7&nbsp;µm (part&nbsp;number 693675-742) installed on the&nbsp;1290&nbsp;Infinity II LC system.

An Agilent 1290 Infinity II LC coupled to an Agilent 6495D LC/TQ was used for the analysis. The 12-minute LC gradient method using an Agilent Aq-C18 column offered good chromatographic separation and RT distribution of all targets. The LC/TQ data acquisition was in dMRM mode with fast polarity switching for the most efficient use of instrument cycle time. The method performance was verified based on requirements for calibration curve linearity, instrument LOD, recovery, and precision.

Shimadzu: Short-Chain Oligonucleotide Analysis Using Supercritical Fluid Chromatography</strong></h3><ul><li>Application note</li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lcms.labrulez.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/ap_aplnote100_en_23b7bffc7e.pdf"><strong>Full PDF for download</strong></a></li></ul><p>Oligonucleotide therapeutics are drugs in which oligonucleotide is the active ingredient. Oligonucleotide therapeutics are manufactured through chemical synthesis, but impurities are produced during the process, so measurement and characterization of the impurities are required. Currently, reversed-phase ion-pair chromatography is often used for this analysis, but it is difficult to separate some impurities that are structurally similar to the target product. Therefore, a separation method with selectivity different from existing methods is required.&nbsp;</p><p>SFC is an analytical method that employs carbon dioxide as the mobile phase at temperatures and pressures above the respective critical points. Compared to liquids, carbon dioxide is reported to have high resolution and special selectivity as a component of SFC mobile phase because of its low viscosity and high diffusivity.&nbsp;</p><p>On the other hand, since the mobile phase containing carbon dioxide has low polarity, SFC was considered unsuitable for the analysis of highly polar compounds. However, in recent years, the composition of the modifier mixed with carbon dioxide and the choice of stationary phase have made it possible to analyze highly polar compounds,such as peptides and nucleotides2).&nbsp;</p><p>In this study, we evaluated the applicability of SFC to oligonucleotide analysis. Single-strand oligonucleotides of around 20-mer are often used as oligonucleotide therapeutics, but due to the extremely high polarity of the molecules and the difficulty of analysis, we first used 4-mer oligonucleotides for evaluation and investigated their basic retention behaviors.</p><h4><strong>Experimental</strong></h4><ul><li><strong>System:</strong> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lcms.labrulez.com/library?mainauthorItems=1&amp;search=LCMS-9030"><strong>LCMS-9030</strong></a></li></ul><h4><strong>Conclusions&nbsp;</strong></h4><p>To evaluate the applicability of SFC for oligonucleotide analysis, we developed a separation method using 4-mer oligonucleotides with varying PS contents as model compounds and investigated their basic retention characteristics. First, we identified conditions that allowed oligonucleotides to elute, finding that a methanol-water mixture containing 50 mmol/L ammonium formate enabled elution and peak detection. Using these conditions, we analyzed T4 with varying PS contents on 12 columns, finding good separation with the Diol II column. To apply this method to more polar sequences, we re-evaluated modifier conditions and found that adding aminoethanol improved peak shape. Applying the optimized method to 14 oligonucleotide sequences showed that sequences with two or fewer G or C bases were suitable for this method. Additionally, higher-polarity sequences showed stronger retention, while oligonucleotides with varying PS contents showed weaker retention with higher polarity, indicating unique retention behavior for PS modifications. The high selectivity for sequences with different PS contents suggests that SFC can be applied to separating impurities with a PS linkage replaced by a PO linkage that can be included in PS-modified oligonucleotides in the synthesis process.&nbsp;</p><p>In the future study, the applicability of SFC to longer oligonucleotidesthan 4-mer will be evaluated.</p><h3><strong>3.

The most commonly available pump mixing designs for reversed phase gradient HPLC separations are high pressure (typically binary) and low pressure (quaternary) systems. High pressure systems use independent pumps to deliver different solvents. Mixing occurs at high pressures with solvent composition controlled by the flow rates of the pump heads. In low pressure systems, solvent composition is controlled by a gradient proportioning valve. Each solvent is delivered in packets (based on the gradient specified in the method) which are mixed as they go through the pump head. High pressure systems have reduced dwell volumes and generally have improved compositional accuracy (leading to better retention time precision) over low pressure systems. Both high- and low-pressure systems are subject to mobile phase composition fluctuations. Mixers of various volumes and designs are utilized to help minimize these composition fluctuations by reducing baseline noise and oscillations in mobile phase composition.&nbsp;</p><p>The use of certain mobile phase modifiers is known to impact chromatographic baselines. Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) is a commonly used ion-pairing reagent used in combination with acetonitrile for many gradient reversed phase applications. TFA absorbs strongly at wavelengths below 250 nm. Additionally, TFA is slightly retained on reversed phase columns which results in fluctuations in TFA concentration as the acetonitrile gradient passes through the column. In combination, these factors result in significant baseline disturbances (ripples) when TFAacetonitrile gradients are used at low wavelengths. These baseline ripples may make peak integration difficult and can impact the sensitivity along with peak area precision and retention time precision of the method.&nbsp;</p><p>Most modern HPLC systems typically include a standard mixer in the pump design. Additionally, different mixers may be available to improve mixing performance for specific applications. The effect that mixers have on chromatographic performance was demonstrated during the migration of a reversed phase TFA-acetonitrile gradient method from a binary system to the quaternary Alliance iS HPLC System.</p><h4><strong>Experimental</strong></h4><ul><li><strong>LC systems: </strong><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lcms.labrulez.com/products/717"><strong>Alliance iS HPLC System</strong></a> Comparable Binary HPLC system (System X)&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Detection: </strong>UV Detector with 10 mm HPLC flow cell</li><li><strong>Column: </strong><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lcms.labrulez.com/products/1823"><strong>XBridge™ C18 Column</strong></a>, 5 µm 4.6 x 250 mm (p/n: 186003117)</li></ul><h5><strong>Data Management&nbsp;</strong></h5><ul><li><strong>Chromatography data system: </strong><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lcms.labrulez.com/products/627"><strong>Empower™ 3.8.0.1</strong></a></li></ul><h4><strong>Conclusion&nbsp;</strong></h4><p>The differences in mixing performance between binary and quaternary HPLC Systems may impact method migration. Mixing performance is particularly important when migrating gradient TFA-acetonitrile methods at low wavelengths, as these methods are known to produce significant baseline noise (ripple). In this study, effect of mixers on chromatographic performance was demonstrated through the migration of the USP Tryptophan Organic Impurities method from a binary system to the quaternary Alliance iS HPLC System. The results show that the characteristic baseline ripple associated with TFA-Acetonitrile gradients at low wavelengths is impacted by the choice of mixer. The Alliance iS HPLC System with the 690 µL Ti diffusion bonded mixer displayed a significant reduction of baseline noise when compared against both the binary and quaternary systems equipped with their respective standard mixers. This resulted in easier peak integration, improved peak area and retention time reproducibility, and increased method sensitivity.</p>

Shimadzu: Analyzing Microscopic Contaminants Embedded in Recycled Plastic</strong></h3><ul><li>Application note</li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://icpms.labrulez.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/an_01_01001_en_79904665ce.pdf"><strong>Full PDF for download</strong></a></li></ul><p>Reusing plastic waste is key to achieving a carbon-neutral society, which is why targets have been established for levels of recycled plastic in plastic products. But quality control of recycled plasticsis essential for maintaining the functional properties of plastic productssince impropersorting, transporting, and processing can all lead to contamination of recycled plastic. Determining the type and quantity of contaminants in recycled plastic is important since they can have a significant negative impact on product performance in certain applications.&nbsp;</p><p>Shimadzu’s infrared microscopes use high-speed mapping analysis to quickly find and characterize contaminants dispersed in recycled plastic, and Shimadzu’s particulate analysis program also provides a convenient and simple tool for determining the morphology and numbers of contaminants.&nbsp;</p><p>This Application News describes using this equipment and tools to analyze contaminants in recycled plastic material that was formed into a film.</p><h4><strong>High-Speed Mapping Analysis of Recycled Plastic</strong></h4><p>For recycled plastic with a relatively simple infrared spectrum, contaminants embedded in the plastic can be analyzed without removing them from the plastic. This is achieved by configuring wavenumber ranges (exclusion ranges) that exclude the peaks of the recycled plastic in the settings of the high-speed mapping software. In this example, a thermal press was used to form recycled plastic composed of PE and PP into a plastic film approximately 100 µm thick. The high-speed mapping settings were then configured to detect peaks in wavenumber regions that contain hydroxyl groups and carbonyl groups that are not normally found in PE or PP. Table 1 shows the analysis conditions in detail. Background readings were obtained from an area of the film with no contaminants.</p><ul><li><strong>Equipment:</strong> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://icpms.labrulez.com/library?mainauthorItems=1&amp;search=IRTracer-100"><strong>IRTracer-100</strong></a>, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://icpms.labrulez.com/library?mainauthorItems=1&amp;search=AIMsight+"><strong>AIMsight</strong></a>&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Software: </strong>AMsolution, high-speed mapping software, particle analysis program</li></ul><h4><strong>Conclusion&nbsp;</strong></h4><p>This Application News describes a simple and rapid method for analyzing and characterizing contaminants in recycled plastic using high-speed mapping analysis with an infrared microscope and data analysis with a particle analysis program. Areas of recycled plastic with no contaminants were scanned once, whereas areas with contaminants were scanned multiple times (50). This allowed a wide area of recycled plastic to be analyzed quickly with minimal noise in the recorded infrared spectra, reducing the analysis time to around just one-fifteenth of the time needed if every part of the recycled plastic was scanned 50 times. Also, using a thermal press to form recycled plastic pellets into a film enabled the efficient characterization of large numbers of contaminants by transmission spectroscopy and the ability to calculate their numbers in the pellets.</p><h3><strong>2.

In many laboratories, the analysis of crude, intermediates, and finished products, including light and middle distillates for trace elements, is accomplished using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) or inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). However, the regulations and specifications for content of elemental impurities are becoming more stringent, which enforces determination of these impurities at lower concentration levels. Due to its higher sensitivity and specificity, ICP-MS is becoming the technology of choice for laboratories. The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) issues standard D8110 that outlines the specifications and test method for elemental analysis of distillate products by ICP-MS. Analysis of combustible organic samples like naphtha, vacuum gas oil (VGO), or aviation turbine fuel (ATF) using ICP-MS could be challenging compared to conventional aqueous samples mainly because unexpected and intermittent extinguishing of plasma as well as carbon deposition in the interface region extracting ions into the mass spectrometer. The direct introduction of volatile organics increases the plasma load due to their high vapor pressure, causes destabilization of plasma and results in poor sensitivity and precision of measurements. Carbon-based interference on key analytes, such as chromium or vanadium, cause additional concerns but can typically be overcome using kinetic energy discrimination (KED) on single quadrupole instruments, or other typical gases used in collision/reaction cells1 . This poster discusses a complete workflow developed using the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://icpms.labrulez.com/products/1487"><strong>Thermo Scientific iCAP MSX ICP-MS</strong></a> (Figure 1) for the sensitive determination of elemental impurities in typical distillate samples including light naphtha, heavy naphtha, and crude oil samples.</p><h4><strong>Materials and methods</strong></h4><p>An analytical method was developed with single quadrupole ICP-MS (iCAP MSX ICP-MS) for elemental analysis of a range of typical petroleum samples with varying physical and chemical properties.</p><h5><strong>Data Analysis&nbsp;</strong></h5><p>The data acquisition and processing were done using <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://icpms.labrulez.com/products/1489"><strong>Thermo Scientific Qtegra Intelligent Scientific Data Solution (ISDS) Software</strong></a>.</p><h4><strong>Conclusions&nbsp;</strong></h4><p>The results obtained from the experiments described in this application note demonstrate the following:&nbsp;</p><ul><li>The proposed method and instrument set-up for elemental analysis of different petroleum products using the iCAP MSX ICP-MS represents a viable solution for laboratories performing oil and refinery product testing.&nbsp;</li><li>The combination of the sample introduction system together with a uniquely robust plasma generation system and a powerful CRC allows for sensitive analysis and comprehensive interference removal for all elements commonly analyzed in the industry.&nbsp;</li><li>The use of KED with helium provided effective for removal of polyatomic interferences commonly observed in such challenging matrices, as was demonstrated by the detection limits and blank equivalent concentrations (BECs) achieved.&nbsp;</li><li>The method therefore allows the accurate and precise determination of a total of 28 elements in different kinds of distillate products, as was demonstrated by the results obtained in the spike recovery test.&nbsp;</li><li>If needed, other reactive gases can be used in a multi-mode analysis performed during a single aspiration of a sample, including alternative cell gases such as hydrogen.
