Benzene Contamination in Baby Food and Beverages by New Generation of Static Headspace Autosampler coupled to Fast GC-TOFMS
9 Jan 2015Due to benzene high carcinogenic activity, its presence in food and beverages is of great concern. In particular, contamination in baby food is even more critical, since infants are more exposed to toxicity than adults. In this application note, the Fast Master GC-TOFMS has been used for benzene contamination assessment in food and beverage products.

GC-MS GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) instruments and equipment are used to separate, quantify and identify mixtures of small and volatile compounds, such as polycyclic aromatics, fatty acids and alcohols. Often used in drug detection, forensic investigation and environmental analysis for pesticides and contaminants, GC-MS is a powerful addition to your lab’s analytical capabilities. GC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzers can give greater sensitivity and resolution to your analysis.
