Nitrosamine analysis: Challenges and updated LC-MS/MS solutions
Webinar Date/Time: Wednesday, April 26th, 2023 at 11am EDT | 8am PDT | 4pm BST | 5pm CEST
Nitrosamine impurities are classified as “cohort of concern” as per ICH-M7 guidelines. Regulatory agencies recommend steps manufacturers of APIs and drug products should take to detect and prevent unacceptable levels of nitrosamine impurities in pharmaceutical products. Regulatory also published analytical testing methods to provide guidance to industry to evaluate mutagenic nitrosamine impurities in many drug substances and drug products. LC/MS/MS inherently is selective and sensitive analytical technique that is well-suited to identify and quantify nitrosamine impurities at very low levels. In this webcast, we will discuss on the conventional nitrosamines and nitroso drug substance related impurities (NDSRIs), their analysis using LC-MS/MS, analytical challenges, and the available solutions from Agilent.

Quantifying Microplastics in Meconium Samples Using Pyrolysis–GC-MS
March 26th 2025Using pyrolysis-gas chromatography and mass spectrometry, scientists from Fudan University and the Putuo District Center for Disease Control and Prevention detected and quantified microplastics in newborn stool samples.
The Role of SPME Combined with GC–MS for PFAS Analysis
Published: March 25th 2025 | Updated: March 25th 2025Emanuela Gionfriddo and Madison Williams from University at Buffalo, the State University of New York, NY, USA discuss the important role that solid-phase microextraction (SPME) techniques with gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC–MS) can play in the analysis of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
Multi-Step Preparative LC–MS Workflow for Peptide Purification
March 21st 2025This article introduces a multi-step preparative purification workflow for synthetic peptides using liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS). The process involves optimizing separation conditions, scaling-up, fractionating, and confirming purity and recovery, using a single LC–MS system. High purity and recovery rates for synthetic peptides such as parathormone (PTH) are achieved. The method allows efficient purification and accurate confirmation of peptide synthesis and is suitable for handling complex preparative purification tasks.
