Release of primary aromatic amines, melamine and formaldehyde from plastic kitchen utensils
This training course focuses on the analysis and assessment of the release of primary aromatic amines, melamine and formaldehyde from plastic kitchenware.
The laboratory training covers not only theoretical knowledge and analytical expertise but also the legal framework and quality-related parameters in an accredited laboratory in detail.
Content
Each participant carries out all relevant procedures on real samples under professional supervision in a laboratory for routine analysis. Migration solutions are prepared from various kitchenware items made of melamine-formaldehyde resin and nylon under defined time and temperature conditions; these are then analysed using LC-MS/MS, GC-MS and spectrophotometric methods to analyse them for the release of primary aromatic amines, melamine and formaldehyde. The concentrations in the solutions are then normalised to the samples, and the results obtained are finally evaluated from a legal and toxicological perspective.
Target audience
- Analysts
- Laboratory managers
- Practitioners in the field of food contact materials with knowledge of analytical chemistry and instrumental analysis
Participation restrictions
5-day standard course for up to four participants (the duration of the course can be adapted to your needs).
