Techcomp-Scion TN002 –Detection of Ethylene Oxide (EO) residue in medical protective products
The 2019 novel corona virus suddenly became a challenge for the health of human being not only in China, but also all over the world. During fighting with the virus, the demand and production of medical protective products increased dramatically, including the mask, protection suit, etc. As a broad-spectrum antibiotic, ethylene oxide (EO) was mainly used for the sterilization step during the production of those products. Due to its toxicity and oncogenicity, it is quite important to detect the residue of EO after sterilization step, to make sure the safety of those products which closely contact with our body.
Gas Chromatography (GC) is a versatile tool for various purpose in many industries. GC coupled with headspace sampler are ideal for detection of EO as it is volatile. Scion has the solution of EO detection to help with the emergence.
