Basic determination of (mineral oil) hydrocarbons in almost all matrices (food, food contact materials, cosmetics, petrochemical products, etc.) using online coupled HPLC-GC-FID.

Further characterisation and determination of hydrocarbon subgroups using two-dimensional gas chromatography (GCxGC-MS/FID) to distinguish:

• MOSH, POSH, ROSH, PAO, WOSH

• MOAH (1-2 ring), MOAH (3-7 ring), terpenes, ROAH and much more

Advanced MOAH fractionation and determination of aromatic hydrocarbons by the number of aromatic rings (mono- & di-aromatic fraction, MDAF, and tri- & polyaromatic fraction, TPAF) using online coupled LC-LC-GC-FID.

Development and application of analytical methods for the determination of (non-) intentionally added substances after extraction or migration. Analytical approaches based on target or screening analysis via LC-MS, GC- and GCxGC-MS/FID.

With our many years of experience in science and analytics, we are the perfect cooperation partner for the realisation of comprehensive research and development projects.

We provide expert consulting on contamination from food packaging and on the analysis and risk assessment of NIAS. In addition, we offer specialised training on the subject of MOSH/MOAH (basics, instrumental analysis, evaluation, data interpretation, etc.).
