AOCS and AOAC methods for determining the trans fatty acid composition of foods by gas chromatography require the use of a highly polar cyanosilicone capillary column to provide the best peak resolution attainable of the numerous geometric (cis & trans)
Various plastics used as barriers to the production of off-flavors in light exposed milk were examined using HS-SPME with a new Carboxen®/PDMS coated Nitinol fiber followed by GC-MS analysis allowing detection of low MW analytes at levels <1 ng/mL.
Our GC solvents have been specially developed and tested for ECD, FID and MS detection or for headspace gas chromatography to ensure accurate, reliable and reproducible analytical results.
Sigma-Aldrich presents an article about the analysis of melamine and related compounds in dog food with the use of more economical gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) instrumentation.
In the flavor and fragrance industry, analytical chemists are often required to isolate key ingredients, off-flavor components, or trace organic compounds from their sample matrices without altering their structure or composition.
SPME is used in the analysis of amphetamine compounds by doing pre-extraction derivatization, and is also used in general determinations of other drugs of abuse.
Bisphenol A (BPA) plastic is controversial in food and beverage containers. This study demonstrates SPME of BPA from an energy drink using an overcoated PDMS/DVB fiber, followed by GC/MS/MS analysis using SLB-PAHms GC Column.
The manufacturing of elastomers makes wide use of 1,3-butadiene (CAS No. 106-99-0) and isoprene (2-methyl- 1,3-butadiene, CAS No. 78-79-5). Both compounds are classifi ed as carcinogenic by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). 1,3-Butadiene is currently listed in
This article explores the analysis of fats in food and beverage products. From derivatization of fatty acids to FAMEs, to analysis of FAME isomers, and more we are your one-stop shop for all of your food and beverage analysis needs.
A procedure for cleanup of green tea extracts provides low background and allowed for the analysis of more pesticides at lower levels than QuEChERS. Uses less solvents and no toluene.
Pesticide residue testing of turmeric and other (dried) spices is challenging due to their complex compositions and high matrix. An efficient SPE clean-up can be achieved by a new Dual-layer cartridge.
Cannabis testing regulations include analysis of purity, potency, and contaminants. Learn more about analysis of cannabis for pesticides, mycotoxins, and pyrethrins registered in California by LC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS Using Ascentis® Express Biphenyl and SLB®-5ms Columns
The method for determination of low concentrations of chloramphenicol in bovine and porcine urine was developed. Sample cleanup was performed by Molecular Imprinted Polymer (MIP) columns. Confirmatory analyses were conducted using GC/MS-NCI after derivatisation (silylation). The described method was fully
Compared to conventional PSA/C18/GCB cleanup, cannabis extracts cleaned with the Supel QuE Verde mixture showed lower GC/MS background, and better recoveries for many pesticides.
To show product safety, it is mandatory to test cannabis flowers for the presence of pesticides. In this article, we show a complete workflow for sample preparation and analysis of cannabis for the pesticides registered in California, by LC-MS/MS and
