Prompt Description

Develop a laboratory workflow diagram illustrating the migration testing of chemical substances from recycled PET (rPET) bottles into food simulants, adhering to EN 13130-1 and Commission Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011. The workflow should encompass the following sequential steps: 1. Receipt and inspection of 600 ml food-grade 100% rPET bottles. 2. Filling of bottles with a 3% (w/v) acetic acid solution as a food simulant, employing the article-filling method. 3. Sealing of bottles with Parafilm to mitigate evaporation. 4. Incubation at controlled temperatures of 20 °C, 40 °C, and 60 °C for a duration of 10 days. 5. Collection of the simulant following the designated migration period. 6. Storage of collected samples at 4 °C prior to analysis. The workflow should be presented as a clear, step-by-step flowchart, with arrows delineating the sequence of operations. Employ professional laboratory terminology and maintain a concise, academic style suitable for inclusion in a scientific thesis or journal article.
