From Food to Medical Devices: The Science of Detecting Trace Chemical Residues

Description

What do pesticide residues, food packaging leachables, and medical device extractables have in common? 

More than most people realize. 

Although they serve different regulatory objectives, scientists often rely on the same advanced analytical techniques to detect, identify, and quantify trace chemical residues. 

Join Cambridge Polymer Group's Michael Young, Ph.D., and Becky Bader, Ph.D., for a discussion of how analytical approaches used in food safety testing compare to those used in medical device extractables and leachables (E&L) studies. While the regulatory requirements differ, both fields rely on advanced chromatography and mass spectrometry techniques to support product safety and regulatory compliance. 

Register here. 

Attendees will learn how high-resolution LC-MS and GC-MS are used to: 

• Identify and quantify trace chemical residues 
• Evaluate extractables and leachables from medical devices 
• Characterize packaging-related leachables 
• Support toxicological risk assessments 
• Address regulatory expectations across FDA-regulated industries 

The webinar will explore similarities and differences between food safety residue analysis and medical device E&L testing, offering insights into how comparable analytical technologies are applied to answer different regulatory questions.
