CHRONECT Workstation MOSH/MOAH - Determination of mineral oil contaminants

Consumers are exposed to a range of mineral oil hydrocarbons (MOH) via food. Mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons (MOSH) consist of linear and branched alkanes, and alkyl-substituted cyclo-alkanes, whilst mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons (MOAH) include mainly alkyl-substituted polyaromatic hydrocarbons. Major sources of MOH in food are food packaging and additives, processing aids, and lubricants. Estimated MOSH exposure ranged from 0.03 to 0.3 mg/kg b.w. per day, with higher exposure in children.

Advantages of the fully automated AxelSemrau CHRONECT Workstation MOSH/MOAH are:

Dual-channel setup for simultaneous determination of MOSH and MOAH
Removal of interfaces by means of epoxidation and AIO_xclean-up
GCxGC/MS analysis, MOSH depletion, or fraction collection are optionally available
