Detection of DEG and EG as impurities in syrup products
Join us for a focused session on the detection of toxic impurities — diethylene glycol (DEG) and ethylene glycol (EG) — in oral liquid pharmaceuticals using High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography (HPTLC). You’ll learn about the regulatory background, optimized sample preparation and chromatographic methods, and how CAMAG’s HPTLC system enables rapid, cost-effective, and visual detection at trace levels. This webinar is ideal for quality control professionals, regulatory specialists, and lab analysts seeking a reliable solution.
Key learning objectives
- Understand the public health risks and regulatory requirements related to diethylene glycol (DEG) and ethylene glycol (EG) contamination in pharmaceutical syrups.
- Learn how to perform sample preparation, chromatographic separation, and derivatization for DEG/EG detection using HPTLC.
- Gain insights into method parameters, including limit of detection (LOD), quantification (LOQ).
- Discover how CAMAG's HPTLC platform enables high-throughput, cost-effective, and visual impurity profiling for routine QC applications.
