Precision universal testing machines are instruments for measuring the strength of materials operated by motors as a power source. Shimadzu offers the AUTOGRAPH Series as a precision universal testing machine product. This webinar introduces the mechanism of a precision universal testing machine, using the AUTOGRAPH Series as an example.

Strength testing involves investigating the properties of an object when a force is applied to it, including materials such as metals and resins. This webinar provides an overview of the purpose of strength testing, the situations in which it is used and the data obtained.

These are the most likely causes for abnormal peak shape. e.g.: Column degradation/ Effect of sample solvent/ Effect of mobile phase composition/ Temperature distribution in analytical column/ Effect of filtration setting in detector We talk about countermeasures for these while showing respective examples.

In recent years, there has been a growing movement to promote alternative methods to animal testing and the EU and a few other countries have even moved to ban the import and sale of cosmetics that have been tested on animals. The Amino acid Derivative Reactivity Assay (ADRA) Method developed by Fujifilm, is an innovative alternative test method for skin sensitization without the use of animals and it was adopted by the OECD in 2019 as a reliable test method. A revision of the Test Guideline (TG) was carried out in 2022, adding an evaluation for the sensitization potential of mixtures by the gravimetric approach and the ADRA-fluorescence method. In this webinar, we will present the technical background of the ADRA method, the use of reagent kits to perform ADRA testing, and our solutions for ADRA analysis that deliver both enhanced selectivity and high-speed testing. Register for this webinar and learn more about how the ADRA method will help you better test the safety of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.

Now easily integratable into liquid chromatograph systems, mass spectrometry (MS) is increasingly recognized as an orthogonal detector that adds extra information to UV-based photodiode array (PDA) detectors. Analysis of chemical compositions and/or impurities is a typical application employing both PDA and MS detectors for enriching the information obtained from a single analysis.

The most appropriate instrument for microplastics analysis can vary depending on the properties of the sample. In this video, we outline the problem of microplastics before looking in detail at one technique, FTIR, and how it is used in combination with libraries of degraded plastics materials. In addition, we describe GC-MS/MS analysis of chemicals adsorbed onto microplastics.

Food Contact Materials (FCM) are any materials that come in contact with food during processing, storage, preparation or serving. The safety of these FCMs must be evaluated as they can migrate into the food supply and contaminate the food with compounds like Per-and Polyfluorinated substances (PFAS), mineral oils (MOSH/MOAH), and leachables/extractables from plastics containers (bisphenol A, heavy metals). This webinar will provide an introduction to FCMs, discuss the challenges faced by the food industry, and present the latest analytical technologies for FCMs.
