Free webinar: Detecting unexpected nitrosamine contamination

24 Jan, 2025

Nitrosamines are a major concern across industries, from pharmaceuticals to cosmetics, due to their potential carcinogenic risks. Regulatory agencies, such as the FDA and EMA, have introduced stringent thresholds for nitrosamines, requiring manufacturers to adopt robust monitoring and detection methods to maintain compliance.

One of the most significant challenges of Nitrosamine analysis is how you detect a nitrosamine that you are not expecting to be present.  While speciated, testing by GC or LC can offer a route to analyse expected nitrosamines (provided a reference standard is available), any unexpected nitrosamine content can potentially be missed.  standards.

On the 27th of February at 14:00 GMT Ellutia will be hosting a live webinar that will cover different analytical approaches that allow you to identify the presence of potential nitrosamine contaminants without needing specific standards.

In the webinar you will learn about;

  • How a non-targeted screening approach to nitrosamine analysis can help flag issues
  • How the Automated Total Nitrosamine Analyser (ATNA) operates and can rapidly perform Apparent Total Nitrosamine Content (ATNC) analysis on samples to detect potential nitrosamine content down to low ppb levels
  • How to avoid potential false positives during ATNC analysis caused by compounds such as nitrites
  • How GC-TEA can be used to further analyse potential unexpected nitrosamine contamination
  • Real-world examples where this technology had been used to flag an unexpected nitrosamine

Following the webinar there will be a live Q&A session where you will be able to put your questions directly to Ellutia’s Senior application chemist Mr Jonathan Angove.

If you missed the live session, you can watch the full recording here.
