EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of EN ISO 21676 standard. This standard specifies a method for the determination of the dissolved fraction of selected active pharmaceutical ingredients and conversion products, as well as other organic matter, in drinking water, groundwater, surface water and treated wastewater.
The lower application range of this method may vary depending on the sensitivity of the equipment used and the matrix of the sample.
The method can be used to determine other organic substances or other types of water (e.g. process water) provided that accuracy is tested and verified for each case and storage conditions of both samples and reference solutions are verified.
Pharmaceutical substances are essential for human and animal health. By administration or improper disposal, active pharmaceutical ingredients enter the water cycle unchanged or transformed. This can be through municipal wastewater treated in treatment plants. There, some active pharmaceutical ingredients and transformation products cannot be completely removed from wastewater by conventional treatment techniques.
The active pharmaceutical ingredients and their transformation products are also transported to the soil via sludge and then enter the water bodies via leachate, depending on the nature of the soil and the active ingredients. The active pharmaceutical ingredients and their transformation products are therefore found in treated wastewater, as well as in surface and ground waters.
This standard specifies a liquid chromatography method with mass spectrometric detection for the determination of selected active pharmaceutical ingredients and their conversion products in the dissolved fraction.
