PAHs in Tobacco Smoke
Scientists from Lorillard Tobacco Company (Greensboro, North Carolina) developed an improved method for analyzing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in mainstream tobacco smoke.
Scientists from Lorillard Tobacco Company (Greensboro, North Carolina) developed an improved method for analyzing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in mainstream tobacco smoke. They used two types of solid-phase extraction (SPE) media to remove matrix interferences and performed the analysis with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). They achieved a reduction in analysis run time as well as an increase in accuracy. The researchers also used a chilled impinger to trap semivolatile PAHs.
RAFA 2024 Highlights: Contemporary Food Contamination Analysis Using Chromatography
November 18th 2024A series of lectures focusing on emerging analytical techniques used to analyse food contamination took place on Wednesday 6 November 2024 at RAFA 2024 in Prague, Czech Republic. The session included new approaches for analysing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), polychlorinated alkanes (PCAS), Mineral Oil Hydrocarbons (MOH), and short- and medium-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs and MCCPs).
