<p><strong>In this troubleshooting tip, Genevie Hodson, Senior Manager of Technical Support and Applications at Phenomenex, addresses a common solid phase extraction (SPE) question:</strong></p><blockquote><p><strong>"My sample won't flow through my SPE cartridge. Why is this happening?"</strong></p></blockquote><p>Several factors can contribute to flow problems during SPE. A systematic troubleshooting approach can help identify the root cause and restore proper cartridge performance.</p><h3><strong>Identifying When the Flow Problem Occurs</strong></h3><p>The first step in troubleshooting is determining <strong>when</strong> the flow issue appears.</p><p>Ask the following question:</p><ul><li>Does the problem occur during the <strong>sample loading step</strong>?</li><li>Or does it occur <strong>before sample loading</strong>, during cartridge conditioning or when running blanks?</li></ul><p>The timing of the problem can help identify its underlying cause.</p><h3><strong>Cause 1: Viscous or Cloudy Samples</strong></h3><h4><strong>Description</strong></h4><p>Samples that are thick, highly viscous, or contain large amounts of particulate matter can restrict flow through the SPE sorbent.</p><h4><strong>Recommended Actions</strong></h4><p>Before SPE, the sample should be:</p><ul><li>Diluted</li><li>Centrifuged</li><li>Filtered</li></ul><p>Another option is selecting a sorbent with a larger particle size.</p><h4><strong>Example</strong></h4><ul><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lcms.labrulez.com/products?category=6&amp;manufacturerItems=50&amp;search=x"><strong>Strata-X</strong></a> – 33 µm particle size</li><li><strong>Strata XL</strong> – 100 µm particle size</li></ul><p>The larger particle size of Strata XL is better suited for viscous samples and can improve flow performance.</p><h4><strong>When This Problem Appears</strong></h4><p>If sample viscosity or particulate content is the cause, the flow issue will typically occur during the <strong>sample loading step</strong>.</p><h3><strong>Cause 2: Insufficient Manifold Pressure</strong></h3><h4><strong>Description</strong></h4><ul><li>Flow problems may originate from the SPE manifold or instrumentation.</li><li>The applied pressure must be sufficient to generate proper flow through the cartridge.</li></ul><h4><strong>Recommended Actions</strong></h4><p>Check:</p><ul><li>The SPE manifold</li><li>Associated instrumentation</li><li>Individual manifold positions</li></ul><p>In some cases, a specific position within the manifold may be responsible for the problem.</p><h4><strong>When This Problem Appears</strong></h4><p>If manifold pressure is the issue, poor flow will typically be observed during:</p><ul><li>Conditioning steps</li><li>Blank runs</li></ul><h3><strong>Cause 3: Immiscible Solvents</strong></h3><h4><strong>Description</strong></h4><p>Using solvents that are not mutually miscible can interfere with flow through the SPE cartridge.</p><h4><strong>Recommended Actions</strong></h4><p>Always use solvents that are miscible with each other.</p><h4><strong>Example</strong></h4><ul><li>Hexane</li><li>Water</li></ul><p>These solvents are immiscible and may cause flow problems if used together.</p><h4><strong>When This Problem Appears</strong></h4><p>Flow issues caused by solvent incompatibility are generally observed during:</p><ul><li>Conditioning steps</li><li>Blank runs</li></ul><h3><strong>Cause 4: Precipitation and Protein Build-Up</strong></h3><h4><strong>Description</strong></h4><ul><li>Sample constituents or proteins may precipitate and clog the sorbent bed.</li><li>This blockage can significantly restrict or stop flow through the cartridge.</li></ul><h4><strong>Recommended Actions</strong></h4><p>Possible corrective actions include:</p><ul><li>Diluting the sample</li><li>Reducing sample volume</li><li>Avoiding denaturing solvents</li><li>Washing the sorbent with a low ionic strength buffer before the regular wash step</li></ul><h4><strong>When This Problem Appears</strong></h4><p>If protein precipitation or sample-derived precipitates are responsible, the flow problem will typically occur <strong>after the sample has been loaded</strong>.</p><h3><strong>Systematic Troubleshooting Approach</strong></h3><p>When investigating SPE flow issues, use a systematic elimination strategy.</p><h3><strong>Key Principle</strong></h3><ul><li>Evaluate one variable at a time and isolate potential causes individually.</li><li>This approach helps identify the true root cause rather than changing multiple parameters simultaneously.</li></ul><h3><strong>Summary of Common SPE Flow Problems</strong></h3><h5><strong>Cause &nbsp; / &nbsp; Typical Observation Point &nbsp; / &nbsp; Suggested Solution</strong></h5><ul><li><strong>Viscous or cloudy sample: </strong>During sample loading - Dilute, centrifuge, filter, or use larger particle size sorbent</li><li><strong>Insufficient manifold pressure: </strong>Conditioning or blanks - Check manifold and instrumentation</li><li><strong>Immiscible solvents:</strong> Conditioning or blanks - Use only miscible solvents</li><li><strong>Precipitation or proteins: </strong>After sample loading - Dilute sample, reduce volume, avoid denaturing solvents, use low ionic strength buffer wash</li></ul><h3><strong>Conclusion</strong></h3><p>Flow problems in SPE can arise from several common sources, including viscous samples, insufficient manifold pressure, incompatible solvents, and precipitation of sample components or proteins. Determining exactly when the problem occurs during the SPE workflow is a critical first step in troubleshooting. A systematic, one-variable-at-a-time approach allows the root cause to be identified efficiently and corrective actions to be implemented.</p>

Contaminants in recycled PET, including acetaldehyde, benzene, limonene, and bisphenol A (BPA), can migrate from the packaging into the contents, potentially affecting the safety and quality of the products stored inside.<sup>1</sup> Monitoring these contaminants is crucial for ensuring the quality of recycled PET products, as they can affect the physical, chemical, and sensory properties of recycled PET, potentially leading to product defects or health concerns.<sup>1</sup> FSSAI officially permits the use of recycled PET (rPET) in food packaging, subject to strict safety and quality standards. This regulatory change was formalized through amendments notified in March 2025, effective immediately.<sup>2</sup> All recycled plastics used in food contact applications must comply with stringent overall and specific migration limits to ensure no harmful chemical transfer into food. The recycling processes require validated decontamination steps to reduce contaminants to safe levels. Manufacturers must certify their packaging materials under FSSAI guidelines.&nbsp;</p><p>GC/MS plays a critical role in assessing the safety and suitability of recycled plastics for food‑contact applications. The method adopted in this work demonstrates the use of an Agilent 8890 GC system coupled with an <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/library?mainauthorItems=10&amp;search=5977C"><strong>Agilent 5977C GC/MS system</strong></a> for quantification of BPA in PET granules.</p><h4><strong>Conclusion&nbsp;</strong></h4><p>This application note presents key strategies for the analysis of BPA in PET granules using GC/MS. The calibration used here ranged from 10 to 500 ng/mL, and the LOQ of the method was demonstrated at 500 ng/g for a PET sample. Repeatable results were found for six successive replicates of matrix-based standards at 100 ng/mL. Satisfactory recoveries were obtained for the tested matrix at 500 ng/g spiked concentration levels. Thus, this study demonstrates the applicability of this method for routine analysis of PET samples for identification and quantification of BPA.</p><h3><strong>2. MDCW / William &amp; Mary: Characterizing PqsE’s enzymatic activity in Pseudomonas aeruginosa by Volatile Organic Compound analysis with GC×GC-TOFMS</strong></h3><ul><li>Poster</li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/Zimmermann_Nicolas_a9c80563a3.pdf"><strong>Full PDF for download</strong></a></li></ul><section><div><div><div><div><div><div><p>Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen commonly associated with severe respiratory infections in immunocompromised patients. The pathogenic behaviors of P. aeruginosa are controlled by a cell-to-cell communication system called quorum sensing (QS). Many genes activated by QS include those responsible for forming biofilms and producing virulence factors. Interestingly, several virulence factors produced by P. aeruginosa are regulated by an interaction between a receptor, RhlR and a hydrolase, PqsE. Thus, the PqsE-RhlR interaction has become a target for antibiotic development and further characterization. Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography paired with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC×GC-TOFMS) was chosen for metabolomic analysis as it is known for its high sensitivity and improved peak capacity. With GC×GC-TOFMS, the volatile organic compound (VOC), acetophenone, was discovered and utilized to measure dose-dependent inhibition of PqsE’s enzymatic activity in vivo by the small molecule inhibitor, Vorinostat. Furthermore, additional VOCs were identified that could add additional insight to PqsE’s function.</p><h4><strong>Experimental:</strong></h4><ul><li><strong>GC/MS:</strong> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/products/1097"><strong>Pegasus BTX (LECO)</strong></a> with <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/products/82"><strong>LECO L-PAL3 Autosampler</strong></a></li><li><strong>Software:</strong> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/products/348"><strong>ChromaTOF Tile</strong></a></li></ul><h4><strong>Summary</strong></h4><p>Eight VOCs identified that show statistically significant concentration differences between WT and D73A samples. The VOC acetophenone can be used to measure the enzymatic inhibition of PqsE in vivo. Vorinostat displayed a dose-dependent decrease in acetophenone levels.</p><h3><strong>3. Shimadzu: Extractable Study of Container Closure Pack Used to Store Oral Drug Product Using Dynamic Headspace Technique</strong></h3><ul><li>Application note</li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/an_06_sip_gc_044_en_ef833b01f0.pdf"><strong>Full PDF for download</strong></a></li></ul><h5><strong>User Benefits</strong></h5><ul><li>ASSP and simultaneous Scan/MRM analysis facilitating accurate qualitative identification and quantitation at the same time.</li><li>Dynamic headspace enables concentrating the analytes in cold trap with multi-injection count and helps to achieve higher sensitivity overstatic headspace, especially for trace level quantitation.</li></ul><p>Extractable and leachable (E &amp; L) studies are becoming increasingly important in the pharmaceutical industry as it is a mandatory requirement from FDA during filing of the drug product. The purpose of E &amp; L studies is to identify and evaluate possible toxicological risks. In this study, the regulatory references aim to identify traces of potential chemical substances. These substances may be harmful to patients due to their toxicity or may impact the activity of the drug product. Hence, to ensure the safety and efficacy of the drug throughout itsshelf-life, E &amp; L studies play an important role.&nbsp;</p><h5><strong>What Are Extractables and Leachables?&nbsp;</strong></h5><p>Extractables are organic and inorganic chemical entities that are released from a pharmaceutical packaging/delivery system, packaging component, or packaging material of construction into an extraction solvent under laboratory conditions[1].&nbsp;</p><p>Leachables are foreign organic and inorganic chemical entities that are present in a packaged drug product because they have leached into the packaged drug product from a packaging/delivery system, packaging component, or packaging material of construction under normal conditions of storage and use or during accelerated drug product stability studies[1].</p><h4><strong>Methods of Analysis</strong></h4><p>In this method, fifteen standards were analyzed by <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/library?mainauthorItems=1&amp;search=GCMSTQ8050+NX"><strong>GCMSTQ8050 NX</strong></a> with <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/library?mainauthorItems=1&amp;search=HS-20+NX"><strong>HS-20 NX</strong></a> (Trap) autosampler. For the method suitability, several important parameters like system suitability, linearity and precision were performed.&nbsp;</p><h4><strong>Conclusion</strong>&nbsp;</h4><p>The chromatographic profile of solvent reflux experiment shows higher number of extractables than aqueous incubation. Furthermore, in aqueous incubation, the content of extractables is well below the AET level. Since, placebo of the ophthalmic drug product is completely aqueous, CCP used in the analysis is totally safe and can be used for the storage of Penicillin V.&nbsp;</p><p>Shimadzu’s GCMS-TQ provides high scan speed of 20000 amu/sec with ASSP technology enabling simultaneous SCAN/MRM analysis which is crucial in E&amp;L study.&nbsp;</p><p>Generally, if the drug product falls under parenteral and oral drug product (PODP), evaluation threshold will be at higher side due to having wider SCT. However, AET for Penicillin V was at too low to evaluate with liquid injection and static headspace technique. This has been proved with the trap headspace technology.&nbsp;</p><p>To analyze the complete extractable profile with the sample screening is only possible with dynamic headspace as most of the extractables were not detected in the injection acquired with static headspace.</p><h3><strong>4.
