An allergen is a substance that can induce a hypersensitivity (allergic) reaction in susceptible people who have previously been in contact with it.
The quantification and identification of allergens in products is a legislative concern for product developers. The demands for the quantification of known allergens and the screening of recently legislated allergens are increasing, making the use of high-performance mass spectrometers essential. The instrument solutions of GC- and GCxGC-TOFMS, provide excellent advantages for the spectral continuity of the TOFMS and the ability to quantify analytes in a wide concentration range in one injection.
Scan and quantify with a single injection using the GCxGC TOFMS, characterize natural fragrances, decipher complex and hidden matrix essential oils; Identify contaminants and external odors to improve quality and profitability.
