Specific migration assay

The specific migration assay quantifies the migration of specific substances (additives, monomers, plasticizers, metals, etc.) from materials or objects in contact with food to a suitable simulant. This analysis is essential to ensure the compliance of materials with the requirements of Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 on plastics, as well as other texts applicable to food packaging or containers. It is carried out after a conditioning step in a simulant (ethanol, acetic acid, oil, etc.), followed by a targeted analysis by chromatography (GC-MS, LC-MS) or spectrometry (ICP-MS for metals). This test applies to plastics, inks, adhesives, coatings, papers, technical textiles or metal objects.
