SafeBridge Validates Industrial Hygiene Air Sampling, Analytical Method

SafeBridge now has a validated method that will detect as low as 20 picograms per filter in an air sample collected on appropriate media. This limit of detection is four to five times lower than methods available from other commercial laboratories.

John Farris, president and CEO of SafeBridge, said: “Naproxen sodium can now be measured at lower concentrations in air which creates an effective tool for organizations involved in handling hazardous materials in powder and liquid forms.

“This is important to pharmaceutical and chemical companies as well as containment and engineering control vendors. Industrial hygiene studies using sensitive methods can predict potential worker exposures and identify sources of emissions for the purpose of preventing occupational disease. Our chemists have done excellent and scientifically supportable work to meet our customer needs”.

SafeBridge’s industrial hygiene laboratory is accredited by the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) for the analysis of active pharmaceutical ingredients. The laboratory routinely develops methods and analyzes samples that contain biologically active pharmaceuticals such as steroid hormones, enzymes, peptide hormones, antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) and ‘cytotoxic’ compounds.
