Fast Screening of Recalled Tylenol® for Tribromoanisole and Related Adulterants
17 May 2012This work demonstrates the potential applicability of QuEChERS sample preparation and GC-TOFMS analysis to screening methods for anisole contaminants. Advantages of methods developed based on QuEChERS and GC-TOFMS may include rapid sample screening and definitive identifications in the presence of significant amounts of matrix.

Sample PreparationSample preparation can improve the quality and speed of separation techniques. Products to assist sample preparation include filtration equipment, evaporators, membranes and sieves.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.
