Selenium in shampoo

Thermo Fisher Scientific has released a new method guide for the analysis of selenium in shampoo. The method, which aligns with the European Union commission directive 97/73/EEC stipulating the methods of analysis necessary for checking composition of cosmetic products, features the Thermo Scientific iCE 3000 Series atomic absorption spectrometers. These spectrometers include deuterium background correction as standard and offer a fast and accurate solution for the
analysis of selenium in shampoo. The iCE 3000’s wizard-driven SOLAAR software also provides simple spectrometer optimisation
and method development tools. The method is detailed in an application note, entitled “The Determination of Selenium in Shampoo by Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry,” which is available to download via www.thermoscientific.com/App-Note-43050.
