Organic solvents are used during the manufacturing of active pharmaceutical ingredients, excipients and drug products and found in the inks used for the printing of packaging materials for foods  If these solvents are remained and ingested, these are hazardous to human health.  On the United States Pharmacopoeia <467>, the residual solvents are classified as ¡°Organic volatile impurities(OVIs)¡± and regulates the concentration of toxic solvents contained in medicine. European Pharmacopoeia also describes ¡°Identification and control of residual solvents¡±.  Since the residual solvents on the food packing material can affect to human health, Korea Food and Drug Administration set the regulation standard.  Young Lin Residual Solvent Analyzer can accurately and efficiently detect and quantify residual solvents.

Residual Solvent < 6mg/m2

Toluene < 2mg/m2
