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

Doctoral project at a glance

N-nitrosamines are partly volatile compounds that can be produced in many different industrial processes and are classified as carcinogenic. Due to their high health risk, there is an urgent need to develop reliable, sensitive and mobile systems for the detection and quantification of N-nitrosamines. As part of her doctoral studies, PhD 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 intended for use in various branches of industry. Compared to conventional methods, GC-FAIMS offers the advantage of being fast, portable and cost-effective.
