Consulting:

• Contact for contaminants from food contact materials
• Evaluation of analytical results and risk assesment

Internal Trainings:

• MOSH/MOAH analysis (background, off-line clean-up and interpretation)
• Analysis of synthetic hydrocarbons (POSH & Co.)

Routine MOSH/MOAH analysis via HPLC-GC-FID:

• Packaging materials
• Additives and processing aids
• Foods 'from farm to fork'

Analysis of synthetic hydrocarbons via HPLC-GC-FID:

• Polyolefin granulates and sealing layers (differentiation in POSH & POMH)
• Adhesives (HMA and HMPSA)
• Food samples

Comprehensive analysis of hydrocarbon types via GCxGC-MS/FID:

• MOSH subgroups: iso-alkanes, n-alkanes, cycloalkanes, hopanes, steranes
• MOAH subgroups: mono-, di-, tri- / polyaromatics (3-7 ring MOAH)
• Oligomers from polyolefins (POSH: POSHoc & POSHcy, POMH, POHox)
• Oligomers from tackifier resins (ROSH & ROAH)
• Natural occuring terpenes, squalenes, carotenes

Screenings:

• Test for barrier efficiencies according to SVI-Guideline
• Analysis of polyamide oligomers
• NIAS in food contact materials
• Simulation studies on migration

Method development for multidimensional chromatography:

• Automatisation of sample pre-treatment
• Group-type analysis of mixtures
• Analysis of process contaminants in different matrices
