Nitrosamines are carcinogenic compounds that require close monitoring to prevent exposure to humans. The can be found in many areas from the malt used in beer making to the rubber in children’s toys.
The 800 Series TEA is the detector of choice for nitrosamine analysis, referenced by name in many leading industry methods. The Extremely high levels of selectivity and sensitivity for nitrosamine compounds means the TEA can not only detect the compounds of interest but also see potential other nitrosamines. Missing un-expected compounds and matrix effects influencing the quantitative results are some of the issues that can been avoided by using a TEA in preference to a Mass Spec detector. The TEA can be easily interfaced to most common models of GC.
