Residual solvents are volatile chemicals left behind in pharmaceutical, food, or cosmetic products during manufacturing. Since they can pose toxic risks, global regulations (e.g., ICH Q3C) require strict limits on allowable concentrations. Testing typically uses gas chromatography to detect solvent classes categorized by toxicity. As pharma and cosmetic standards tighten worldwide, the demand for accurate and high-throughput solvent testing grows. Challenges include high cost of equipment and required technical expertise, but innovations in green solvents and mobile testing labs create strong growth potential.

The chemical industry is a building block of the world's economy, driving innovation in sectors like pharmaceuticals and agriculture.

Regulatory Overview

The chemical industry is based on a regulatory framework that makes sure the industry does not harm the people, or the environment, or breach international standards. These regulations run from production to handling, storage, and disposal. The key legislations generally include the EU's REACH system and the US TSCA, which have also put stringent testing, reporting, and labeling requirements for chemical substances. Compliance with the above legislation requires that companies implement good safety management systems, conduct periodic audits, and monitor environmental performance continually. Apart from that, industry players also have to be abreast of changing legislation and newly emerging global standards on hazardous substances, waste management, and sustainability undertakings. Non-compliance can lead to substantial penalties, reputational damage, and operational discontinuations, which make adherence a key business issue.

Residual solvents are volatile chemicals left behind in pharmaceutical, food, or cosmetic products during manufacturing. Since they can pose toxic risks, global regulations (e.g., ICH Q3C) require strict limits on allowable concentrations. Testing typically uses gas chromatography to detect solvent classes categorized by toxicity. As pharma and cosmetic standards tighten worldwide, the demand for accurate and high-throughput solvent testing grows. Challenges include high cost of equipment and required technical expertise, but innovations in green solvents and mobile testing labs create strong growth potential.
