A European pharmaceutical company's anticancer drug production line encountered HPLC detection anomalies, with persistent unknown interference peaks following the main peak. Laboratory investigations traced the contamination source to chromatographic vial sealing systems. Aijiren's technical team identified the root causes through the following findings:

Dynamic Contamination Signatures
Ghost peaks exhibited retention time drift (±0.3-1.5 min), indicating cyclic adsorption-desorption between contaminants and the mobile phase.

Material Correlation
LC-MS coupled detection revealed PTFE characteristic fragments (C8F16, m/z 412.96) in unknown peaks, chemically matching chromatographic vial septums (99.2% alignment).

Core Mechanism
Abnormal sealing torque caused microstructural damage to septums, generating 50-200μm particles that entered chromatographic columns via mobile phase flow.

II. Experimental Validation: Breakthrough in Torque-Deformation-Contamination Correlation

Aijiren established a complete evidence chain through torque-HPLC coupled testing:

Torque Gradient Simulation
Three-tier torque settings (low/medium/high) covering production line ranges revealed a "brittle fracture → flexible deformation" transition zone via high-speed microscopy.
SEM confirmed: Over-torque (＞2.5Nm) induced stress concentration, while under-torque (＜1.0Nm) accelerated vibration-induced particle shedding.

Contamination Dynamics Tracking
Laser particle analyzer monitored real-time particulate concentrations in mobile phase across torque-calibrated samples.
Developed a 3D model linking torque values, particle release volume, and ghost peak area for production line optimization.
