Instrumental Analysis

• Analysis of fresh fruits, vegeta­bles and their processed prod­ucts for nitrate (by HPLC) and pesti­cide residues (by GC, GC-MS, GC-MS/MS and LC-MS/MS)
• Polar pesti­cides (e.g. glyphosate, phos­phonic acid, ethephon, TMS, chlorme­quat, chlo­rate, perchlo­rate, etc.)
• Exam­i­na­tion of animal food­stuffs for residues of veteri­nary drugs by LC-MS/MS screening
• We iden­tify ethylene oxide and 2‑chloroethanol in various food prod­ucts. This analysis is possible as express analysis with result reporting after 12h
• Residues of disin­fec­tants such as chlo­rate and quater­nary ammo­nium compounds

• Deter­mi­na­tion of process-related cont­a­m­i­na­tion of 3‑MCPD fatty acid esters in various food products
• Testing for mineral oil como­po­nents (MOSH/MOAH)
• Deter­mi­na­tion of acry­lamide in coffee, processed potato prod­ucts & cereal products.
• Testing of foods for levels of unde­sir­able cont­a­m­i­nants, such as heavy metals, poly­chlo­ri­nated biphenyls (PCBs), etc.
• Testing for myco­toxins as single deter­mi­na­tion or simul­ta­neous multi­screening of 8 myco­toxins by LC-MS/MS

• Deter­mi­na­tion of origin by isotope analysis
• Veri­fi­ca­tion of the desig­nated trade classes for fresh fruit & vegeta­bles and table potatoes
• Deter­mi­na­tion of vitamin content (by LC-MS/MS)
• Qual­i­ta­tive & quan­ti­ta­tive deter­mi­na­tion of preservatives
• Deter­mi­na­tion of morpho­line and the other 7 amino alcohols

• Analysis of tobacco and tobacco prod­ucts for their ingre­di­ents as an approved labo­ra­tory according to §4 Tobacco Ordinance
• Ciga­rettes: Smoke analysis, raw conden­sate, nico­tine-free dry smoke conden­sate – Tar, water in smoke conden­sate, nico­tine in smoke conden­sate – Nico­tine, tobacco mois­ture, draw resis­tance, filter venti­la­tion, pesti­cide residues.
• Tobacco: tobacco mois­ture, nico­tine, preser­v­a­tives, humec­tants, pesti­cide residues
• Matches: analysis according to DIN EN 1783
• Lighters: Analysis according to DIN EN ISO 9994
