10 ppb screening or NIAS screening (non-target analysis) semiquantitative

Semi-quantitative screening for the presence of NIAS (non-intentionally added substances) or some SML substances by GC-MS/FID after migration with food simulant ethanol 95% or ethanol 50% for foods with hydrophilic or lipophilic properties or simulant E (poly(2,6-diphenyl-p-phenylene oxide or Tenax ®) for dry foods. In principle, substances with molecular weights of approx. 100 - 700 Dalton (or approx. 100 -700 g/mol) can be detected with a limit of detection of 0,01 mg/kg food (simulant) (=10 ppb).

Test Method Group: specific migration

Norms:
  • In-house method PV055 (2024-11) 10 ppb screening of commodities by GC-MS/FID
  • In-house method (external provider) Inhouse method of an external provider

Required Sample Amount: 5 x DIN A4 per substance and simulant (please label the food-contact side) or 5 articles respectively, packed in aluminium foil
