Specific migration testing – non-intentionally added substances (NIAS), GC-MS
Analysis of the migration of non-intentionally added substances (NIAS) into selected food simulant. NIAS have various sources and can be grouped into side products, breakdown products, and contaminants.
The service is available with the following simulants:
50% ethanol, 95% ethanol, and iso-octane - suitable for plastic materials and materials with polymer coatings
Dry food simulant (Tenax) - also suitable for materials that cannot withstand liquid simulants (e.g. paper and board)
The lower displayed price covers testing with liquid simulants and the higher with Tenax.
A simple risk assessment based on EU regulations for food contact materials and EFSA's Threshold of Toxicological Concern (TTC) approach is included in the cost. More extensive risk assessment is available upon request.
