Determination of slip agents in food containers by UPLC/TOF-MS

You are a manufacturer of products intended for food packaging, you need to check the content of slip agents contained in your finished product.

Here is an example of a service :

The sample is ground (or freeze-ground) into a fine powder and then a Solid / Liquid extraction makes it possible to migrate the soluble organic compounds from the polymer matrix to the extract . This extract is then analyzed by UPLC/TOF-MS allowing a chromatogram to be obtained in which each peak corresponds to an organic compound which is identified precisely by its mass spectrum.

The area of each peak, correlated to an external calibration, is proportional to the mass of compound in the sample. This makes it possible to determine the exact content of targeted compounds in the sample.
