Study Design
Commercially available 1-liter 2D bioprocess bags were γ-irradiated at 45-55 kGy and all associated components (ports, tubing, etc.) were removed and heat sealed with an internal wetted surface area of 726 cm2. Each test sample was filled with 121 mL of extraction solvent in order to achieve a 6:1 (cm2/mL) surface area: volume ratio.
Copyright Chemic Laboratories Inc., 20165
Study Design
Samples were prepared for each solvent & each time point, placed in secondary containment within an incubator. The study was staged in reverse within 5 weeks of γ-irradiation.
At termination the sample extracts and controls were placed into inert containers for analytical testing.

DI-GC/MS Results Notables
The data demonstrated the presence of extractable peaks in all solvents with the exception of 5M NaCl, 0.1M H3PO4, USP H2O and 0.01M HCl.
n-Octane was initially evaluated and response was erratic due to its volatility.
An extraction surrogate is added to monitor the efficiency of the liquid-liquid exchange procedure. The behavior of the surrogate may not be representative of all “unknowns”.

HS-GC/MS System Suitability Notables
Methanol was demonstrated to be unsuitable.Residual methanol in the ethanol further compounded the difficulty in interpretation.
MEK and D4 spiked at 2.5 μg/mL were well resolved but displayed significant differences in relative response factors.
Toluene-d8 is not water soluble and is may not be appropriate without added organic solvent modifier.
System suitability criteria was met for MEK, however D4 recovery was not met in PS-80 due to co-elution.

General Study Conclusions
Although limited in scope this study provides:
-Additional information regarding aggressiveness of thesolvents employed.
-Insight into the variability that could be encountered.
- Analytical challenges to be overcome associatedwith solvent-instrument compatibility.

General Study Conclusions cont.
-Additional sample handling and analytical methodoptimization is required to ensure robust evaluation(s).
-Significant investment is required to conduct studiesto the level of rigor necessary to obtain usable data.

Key Facility Requirements
Large chambers are required for a single study
“Typical” TOC combustion units are not sufficient based on Na+ concentrations.
All MS platforms must have dual ionization sources and ability to switch polarity +/-.
A heat sealer is required to mitigate solvent loss from films.
