Development of a multidimensional, mobile GCIMS system for use in safety research (product, environmental and occupational safety) and health research

Promotionsprojekt im Überblick

N-nitrosamines are partly highly volatile compounds that can be formed in many different industrial processes and are classified as carcinogenic. Due to their high health risk, it is of acute interest that reliable, sensitive and mobile systems for the detection and quantification of N-nitrosamines are developed. Doctoral student Jana Hinz is working on the development of a GC-FAIMS system, a measuring device for the rapid analysis of N-nitrosamines. This system is to be used in various branches of industry. Compared to common methods, GC-FAIMS offers the advantage of being fast, applicable on site and cost-efficient.
