Life Sciences Detergents and Surfactants Characterization
Detergents and surfactants characterization from SGS – a range of techniques, including surfactant analysis, residual surfactant testing and residual detergent analysis to help you characterize surface-active compounds.
We offer you extensive experience in the detailed characterization of surface-active compounds, either individually, in mixtures or in finished products. With our in-depth knowledge of surfactant analysis techniques, we can select the appropriate analytical approach to suit your individual projects.
These may include:
- Positive and negative ion electrospray-mass spectrometry (ES-MS)
- Positive and negative ion liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry detection (LC-MS).
- Matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) for the identification of non-ionic surfactants
Why choose detergent and surfactant analysis and characterization from SGS?
Our service includes surfactant analysis, residual surfactant testing and residual detergent analysis. We can help you:
- Detect and quantify detergents in biopharmaceutical products according to ICH Q6B, including TWEEN, and polyethylene glycol (PEG)
- Identify cationic and amphoteric detergents, such as quaternary ammonium salts, N-oxides, sulphobetaines and non-ionic detergents by positive ion ES-MS
- Identify anionic detergents, such as alkylbenzene sulfonates and ether sulfates with negative ion ES-MS
- Identify of alkoxylated non-ionic detergents, such as alkylphenol ethoxylates, alcohol propoxylates and gasoline dispersants with LC-MS
- Analyze low levels of surfactants or complex matrices with LC-MS
