This training course focuses on analysing and evaluating the release of primary aromatic amines, melamine and formaldehyde from plastic kitchenware.
In addition to theoretical knowledge and analytical expertise, the laboratory training course also covers in detail the legal principles and quality-relevant parameters in an accredited laboratory.

Contents
Each participant carries out all relevant procedures on real samples under professional supervision in a laboratory for routine analyses. Migration solutions are prepared from various kitchen articles made of melamine-formaldehyde resin and nylon under defined time/temperature conditions, which are then analysed for the release of primary aromatic amines, melamine and formaldehyde using LC-MS/MS, GC-MS and spectrophotometric methods. The concentrations in the solutions are then related to the samples and the results obtained are finally evaluated from a legal and toxicological point of view.

Target group

• Analysts
• Heads of laboratories
• Users in the field of food contact materials with knowledge of analytical chemistry and instrumental analysis
