• Quantitative Analysis of 57 Fragrance Allergens in Cosmetics Using Twin Line MS System

    Under the European Cosmetics Directive (EC 1223/2009)1), 24 of the fragrances used in cosmetics are regulated as fragrance
    allergens. If a leave-on product contains more than 0.001 % or a rinse-off product contains more than 0.01 %, it must be labeled on the product. Recently, however, following an opinion by the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS), the number of regulated compounds has been scheduled to be expanded to more than 80. Therefore, manufacturers of cosmetics need to know exactly what fragrance compounds are contained in finished products orraw materials.

  • Plaque Assay

    A cell monolayer is treated with a dilution of a GFP-expressing virus. The cells are then coated with agar, which limits the virus spread to only neighboring cells.After incubation, GFP+ circles of infected cellsare counted for virus titration.
