Extractable and leachable (E&L) testing for finished pharmaceutical products, bioprocess manufacturing systems, and medical devices is currently a subject of intense interest. The majority of the challenges encountered in analytical workflows are related to the highly complex matrices and relatively low analyte evaluation thresholds seen in E&L studies. This paper provide options for executing E&L testing to supporting regulatory submissions. There are multiple compliant routes possible, and the presented workflows and analytical solutions are only one of multiple successful approaches.

This paper proposes a new method of flash qualitative identification (FQI) to qualitatively identify a certain target component from a mixture within half a second by disusing the analytical column, which is a time-consuming unit in current chromatography instruments. First, a Noised Spectrum Identification (NSI) model was constructed for the data set generated directly by diode array detector (DAD) without the process in an analytical column. Then, a method called vector error algorithm (VEA) was proposed to generate an error according to the DAD data set for a mixture and a specific spectrum for the target component to be identified. A criterion based on the error generated by the VEA is used to give a judgement of whether the specific spectrum exists in the DAD data set. Several simulations demonstrate the high performance of the FQI method, and an experiment for three known materials was carried out to validate the effectiveness of this method. The results show that the NSI model concurs with the real experiment result; therefore, the error generated by the VEA was an effective criterion to identify a specific component qualitatively, and the FQI method could finish the identification task within half a second.

This article describes a liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) method for the analysis of coumarin in various tobacco matrices and electronic cigarette (E-cig) liquids, and highlights the importance of evaluating different MS/MS transitions of an analyte in complex sample matrices to overcome matrix effects. Matrix interfering components were separated from analyte using a C18 ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC) column with a larger inner diameter (3.0 mm, or 4.6 mm). Matrix suppressions on analyte responses were corrected by isotope dilution. Four different MS/MS transitions of coumarin were studied in each sample matrix to select a suitable MS/MS transition for analyte quantification based on matrix effects on each MS/MS transition. The method was validated using different tobacco matrices and E-cig liquids.
