Determination and analysis of twenty-four metallic elements in polysorbate 80
Objective:To establish an inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry(ICP-MS)method for the determination of 24 elements in polysorbate 80,and evaluate the results.Methods:The elements were determined by ICP-MS,statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 26,and the risk assessment was carried out with reference to ICH Q3D guidelines.Results:The standard curves showed good linear relationship in the corresponding concentration range(r=0.997-0.999).The recoveries were 88.81%-134.64%(RSD<5%,n=6).None of the elements recommended for evaluation exceeded the control threshold.Conclusion:The method is accurate,reliable and easy-to-operate,and the risk of elemental impurities in this sample is low.
