Method development for analysis of nanoplastics in drinking water and milk using transmission electron microscopy (TEM)
energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (STEM- EDX) allowed differentiating plastic particles from mineral contaminants on the grid by their elemental composition. The limit of detection, determined by the sample ...
Chromatographic fingerprint development for the detection of tobacco varieties in commercial tobacco products
a chromatographic fingerprinting method was developed to produce unique fingerprints of tobacco varieties. This method aims to enable the verification of declared compositions and contributes to the detection of ...
