The Art and Science of Paint Deformulation
Paint deformulation separates out components to be identified with the normal analytical techniques available to the chemist.
SOT 65th Annual Meeting and ToxExpo 2026
March 23-25, 2026
Eurofins EAG Laboratories will present a session and two posters and exhibit in booth 1924 at the SOT 65th Annual Meeting and ToxExpo in San Diego, March 23-25, 2026.
Exhibitor-Hosted Session
Medical Device Chemical Characterization: Discussion of State-of-the-Art Analytical Approaches
- Speaker: Steven R. Doonan, Ph.D, Eurofins EAG Laboratories
- Date & Time: Monday, March 23: 9:15 AM
- Room:24A
- Session Description: Chemical characterization studies of medical devices provide a key tool for the preparation of toxicological risk assessments (TRAs). Without proper collection and interpretation of supporting data by the testing laboratory, any resulting TRA will be insufficient to ensure patient safety. The challenges of navigating the expectations of regulatory bodies around ISO 10993-18 have led to a spectrum of approaches throughout the industry, but not all of these approaches can provide an accurate and comprehensive report of the extractables profile. In this session, we will discuss three essential pillars of modern medical device chemical characterization: data deconvolution, high-resolution mass spectrometry, and reference
databases.

Composition Analysis on 3D Printed Titanium
XRD analysis provides identification of crystalline phases present. For 3D printed materials that come from a matrix of multiple elements, it can be unclear whether the cooling creates one, consistent phase of material or if it separates out into multiple phases.
