Event Overview:
As carcinogenic and mutagenic compounds, nitrosamines have been regulated with maximum limits in drinking water and cosmetics. Since their occurrence in drugs like valsartan in 2018, they have been investigated in pharmaceutical testing as well. This webinar discusses analytical methods for testing nitrosamines in various matrices. As many of these methods apply MS/MS detection, the proper use internal and calibration standards will be addressed.
Key Learning Objectives:
- A comprehensive overview of analytical methods and technologies for nitrosamine analysis, including their advantages and disadvantages.
- Insights into regulations for nitrosamines in different markets like pharma, food, consumer goods, etc.
- How to use reference materials as internal standards and for calibration.
Who Should Attend:
- Scientists, technicians and lab staff in analytical testing of food or drug products
Speaker
Frank Michel, Ph.D.
Scientific Education & Sustainability
Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany
After receiving his diploma in chemistry from Westfaelische Wilhelms University in Muenster, Germany, Dr. Frank Michel developed, optimized, and evaluated new stationary phases for HPLC in his Ph.D. under the direction of Professor Jan T. Andersson. Dr. Michel then joined Bernina Biosystems, a biopharmaceutical company in Munich, Germany, as an analytical chemist and developed and validated analytical HPLC and other methods for active pharmaceutical ingredients [APIs], including excipients and drug products.Later, Dr. Michel moved to Sigma-Aldrich as Product Specialist for Chromatography in Germany where he contributed his extensive operating experience in HPLC, GC, and SPE. After two years, Dr. Michel moved to the position of Sales Development Specialist for Analytical in Central Europe where he focused on marketing, instructional seminars, and the development of chromatography products. His next position was at HWI ANALYTIK, an analytical service provider for the pharmaceutical industry, where he was responsible for the marketing of analytical services and reference standards.
In 2010, Dr. Michel returned to Sigma-Aldrich (Part of Merck as of November 2015) as Analytical & Chromatography Technology Specialist. In this position, he communicated the technical background of new and innovative analytical products via oral and written presentations. Five years later, he advanced to the position of Scientific Advisor for Analytical Technologies to support the Asia-Pacific region. Since 2022, Dr. Michel has been responsible for scientific education (with focus on analytical chemistry) and sustainability in the chemistry franchise of Merck. Dr. Michel is a member of the Separation Science working group in the German Chemist Society [GDCh] and the EuChemS-DAC Sample Preparation Task Force and Network.

Profiling Volatile Organic Compounds in Whisky with GC×GC–MS
November 1st 2024Researchers from Austria, Greece, and Italy conducted a study to analyze volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present in Irish and Scotch whiskys using solid-phase microextraction (SPME) Arrow with comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC×GC–MS) to examine the organoleptic characteristics that influence the taste of spirits.
Analytical Challenges in Measuring Migration from Food Contact Materials
November 2nd 2015Food contact materials contain low molecular weight additives and processing aids which can migrate into foods leading to trace levels of contamination. Food safety is ensured through regulations, comprising compositional controls and migration limits, which present a significant analytical challenge to the food industry to ensure compliance and demonstrate due diligence. Of the various analytical approaches, LC-MS/MS has proved to be an essential tool in monitoring migration of target compounds into foods, and more sophisticated approaches such as LC-high resolution MS (Orbitrap) are being increasingly used for untargeted analysis to monitor non-intentionally added substances. This podcast will provide an overview to this area, illustrated with various applications showing current approaches being employed.
GC–MS Targeted Analysis of PFAS Helps Expand Knowledge of Toxicokinetic Data
November 1st 2024Limited toxicokinetic and toxicologic information is available about a diverse set of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), but methods based on gas chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (GC–MS/MS) can help unravel some of the mystery.
AOAC International Awarded NIST Grant for Developing Drug Testing Standards
October 31st 2024The grant will be part of a new collaborative scientific initiative to address the need for standards that define the desired performance of lateral flow immunoassay test strips to detect illicit drugs in tablets and powders.
