IFRA Allergens upgrade from SuperCell

IFRA labs can move from four MassHunter Quant batches to a single Quanto method — native ChemStation files, AcqKey/SmpKey, and far faster review.

“A very satisfying and delightful project led to a custom-made software solution that allows for evaluation of a large amount of raw data in a comparatively short amount of time to serve the efficiency needs of a routine analysis.”

Nikola Bast — Director QC Analytical Department, Symrise

The IFRA challenge

The International Fragrance Association published a method to quantify 57 suspected allergens in fragrance materials by GC-MS.

Allergens split across 2 MS methods × 2 column polarities = 4 methods per sample — plus dilutions when peaks overload. Each method is calibrated on quantifier and qualifier signals. The final peak is chosen via IFRA’s decision tree.

GC-MS is the workhorse in perfume QC. SuperCell makes the data-processing step tractable.

How it works

  1. Prepare four methods with identical compound names and clear compound groups.
  2. Inject and name data files consistently.
  3. Open SuperCell — it groups files, creates Quant batches, quantitates, and loads everything automatically.
  4. Review, override where needed, export to Excel (optional LIMS).
