Static Headspace Sampling with GC/FID

Yellow pills on a production line.

This application will demonstrate headspace for residual solvents. The USP <467> procedure using an autosampler configured with a gas tight syringe for static headspace sampling together with a Gas Chromatograph/Flame Ionization Detector (GC/FID) to a headspace sampling system. During the synthesis of some pharmaceuticals it is sometimes necessary to use solvents in order to increase the yield or purity of the product. After the pharmaceutical is produced, the solvent(s) are removed to the greatest extent possible.

United States Pharmacopeia (USP) general chapter <467> describes a static headspace gas chromatography procedure for the determination of residual solvents. This application will demonstrate the USP <467> procedure using an autosampler configured with a gas tight syringe for static headspace sampling.
