The document introduces the 7th amendment of the European Cosmetics Directive and its requirements for cosmetic manufacturers. It requires manufacturers to indicate the presence of 26 fragrance ingredients in finished cosmetic products if they exceed a threshold of 0.01% (rinse-off) and 0.001% (leave-on). It also discusses the application of Agilent's Deconvolution Reporting Software (DRS) in complex matrices. The software can automatically deconvolute spectra and generate qualification and quantitation reports, increasing the confidence in results and processing efficiency.
This document describes the use of Agilent's Deconvolution Reporting Software (DRS), model G1716AA, for determining regulated allergens in fragrance products. The software integrates MSD ChemStation, AMDIS, and NIST Search to automatically deconvolute spectra from complex matrices, generating qualification and quantitation reports with high confidence.
| Software Model Number | G1716AA |
|---|---|
| Typical Data Processing Time | 2 to 3 minutes |
| Number of Regulated Allergens in Database | 24 compounds |
DRS automatically deconvolutes the spectra from matrices to generate a qualification and quantitation report.
The DRS add-on allergen RTL database is available as a free download from the Agilent Web site after registration.
