Residual solvents
The twenty-eight solvents Michigan requires, from fifty milligrams of sample.
- Instrument
- HSGC-MS
- Panel
- 28 solvents
- Turnaround
- 48 hours
Extraction leaves traces of whatever did the extracting. Michigan requires the analysis and quantitation of twenty-eight solvents, including butane, hexane, benzene and chloroform.
We run them on a headspace gas chromatography mass spectrometry system, which samples the air above the sample rather than the sample itself. That is why we need only fifty milligrams of material for a residual solvents analysis: less product consumed per test, and more of it left to sell.
For processors
If you are tuning a purge, run the panel across the curve rather than at the end of it. The shape of the result tells you where the solvent is actually leaving.
Questions
- How much sample do you need?
- Fifty milligrams for the residual solvents analysis itself. Send more if other panels are running alongside it.
- Which solvents are covered?
- The twenty-eight the state of Michigan requires, including butane, hexane, benzene and chloroform.
