F.A.M.E. Analysis

Fatty acid methyl ester profiling is widely used to confirm the authenticity and composition of edible oils. By measuring the relative ratios of individual fatty acids, manufacturers can identify adulteration and verify labelling information. The 200 Series GC with FID provides clear separation of key components such as oleic and linoleic acid, supporting routine oil analysis.

Residual Solvents in Printed Packaging

Printed packaging can retain residual ink solvents that may affect food quality and safety. Headspace gas chromatography allows these volatile compounds to be isolated and quantified before products reach the consumer. The 200 Series GC with FID and headspace sampling provides reliable detection of alcohols, ethers, acetates, and other organic solvents.

Melamine in Milk Powder

Melamine contamination in dairy products has led to significant food safety concerns. Using the 200 Series GC paired with a TEA detector in nitrogen mode allows selective detection of nitrogen-containing compounds. This configuration enables laboratories to target melamine with high sensitivity while avoiding interference from proteins such as casein.
