Identifying falsified COVID-19 vaccines by analysing vaccine vial label and excipient profiles using MALDI-ToF mass spectrometry by Benediktus Yohan Arman, Rebecca Clarke, Tehmina Bharucha, Laura Gomez Fernandez, John Walsby-Tickle, Michael Deats, Sara Mosca, Qianqi Lin, Sneha Banerjee, Shrikrishna R. Chunekar, Kundan D. Patil, Sunil Gairola, Susanna Dunachie, Hamid A.

“…Furthermore, even if a falsified product contained polysorbate 80 at the same concentration as used in the genuine vaccine, the characteristic spectral profile of polysorbate 80 used in genuine products is a reliable internal marker for vaccine authenticity. Our findings demonstrate that MALDI-ToF MS analysis of extracts from vial labels and the vaccine excipients themselves can be used independently to detect falsified vaccines. …”
