Welcome to the August issue of EVISA's Speciation Newsletter !
In this issue we report about upcoming new regulation. ICH Q3D Elemental Impurities is
a quality guideline for the control of metal impurities in drug
substances and drug products. Recently, the Expert Working Group has updated the permissible daily exposure (PED) value for cadmium. In an attempt to harmonize different regulation, FDA has issued a draft guidance document on July 13, 2018, inviting
comments on the proposed changes as part of global regulatory policy
harmonization efforts (see the news below).
The EU is seeking to restrict chemicals in tattoo inks causing health effects. A proposal to implement tight limits on the use of 4,000 chemicals is
expected to be brought to a vote among EU member states by the middle of
next year (see the news below).

NEWS
|
| |
| |
EVISA is keeping you updated with what is going on in speciation analysis. In this section you will find news about the most current research results, about trends, legal issues and information from manufacturers in the field of speciation analysis.
With all the links to further information and publications the News archive is a valuable collection of "hot topics" in speciation analysis. We continuously update even former news with new links and information so that all news are actual all the time.
EU seeking to restrict chemicals in tattoo inks over cancer fears
The EU’s chemicals watchdog has concluded that substances found in tattooing inks may pose a cancer risk, although there is no direct evidence, and member states will vote in 2019 on restrictions for 4,000 chemicals currently in use.

FDA Invites Comment on New Exposure Limits for Cadmium
FDA has issued a call for comments on a proposed change to the International Council for Harmonization (ICH) Q3D Elemental Impurities guidance document that corrects a calculation error in the permissible daily exposure (PDE) for cadmium by the inhalation route of exposure.

Shimadzu enhances its mass spectrometry platform with the launch of a new Q-TOF system
Shimadzu, one of the world's fastest growing mass spectrometry companies, announces the launch of the quadrupole time-of-flight (Q-TOF) LCMS-9030 system. The Shimadzu LCMS-9030 is a research grade mass spectrometer designed to deliver high-resolution, accurate-mass detection with incredibly fast data acquisition rates, allowing scientists to identify and quantify more compounds with greater confidence. It utilizes the same engineering DNA from our proven, rugged, high-performance triple quadrupole (LC-MS/MS) platform and integrates that with powerful TOF architecture to transform high mass accuracy workflows by achieving high-sensitivity, high-speed, and high-resolution detection.
