PAH Testing in Food

PAH Testing in food with CHRONECT Workstation PAHs

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are among the most extensively studied contaminants due to their potential carcinogenicity across various matrices. PAH testing presents significant analytical challenges, primarily because of the wide range of possible food matrices. Additionally, laboratories must meet increasing demands for shorter turnaround times while maintaining high standards of sensitivity, precision, and accuracy. These requirements drive the need for highly automated analytical workflows to ensure reliable and efficient PAH analysis.

PAL based Axel Semrau CHRONECT Workstation streamlines sample preparation and testing, enabling fast, precise, and high-throughput workflows that meet modern analytical demands

Key Features of the automated PAH Testing:

  • LOD 1/100 of the limit value for baby food (example substance: benzo[a]pyrene)
  • No consumables like SPE cartridges due to LC-LC-Clean-Up
  • Longer maintenance intervals due to Clean-Up-Technology
  • Fast results
  • Protection of the GC
  • High degree of automation
  • Excellent reproducibility
  • Expandable to further applications
