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

• 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
