Chemical Stripping
In certain production processes such as those in cosmetics or agricultural pesticides industries, it is important to analyse for the presence of Nitrosamines, but it is not all ways essential to know the exact profile of the nitrosamine species.

The Ellutia Chemical Stripping System has been developed to be used in unison with an 800 Series TEA to perform total nitrosamine analysis. Instead of using a pyrolyser to heat the nitrosamine to remove the NO group, a chemical reaction can be employed. The alleviation of NO from the nitrosamine is performed by a reflux reaction with hydrobromic acid in ethyl acetate. The nitrosamine sample is injected into the reaction vessel and produces NO, a secondary amine and bromine. The NO is then carried in a gas stream through a cold trap (removing any vapour) to the TEA

 

About Us
Ellutia design and produce a range of innovative gas chromatography instruments. Ellutia systems are designed to be smaller, faster, give greater sensitivity and be more energy efficient. The main focus is to supply complete solutions to analytical problems. By collaborating closely with customers Ellutia are able to produce, install and support customised systems to fit their exact requirements. This flexibility and customer focus sets Ellutia apart from the competition.

History
Cambridge Scientific Instruments, from the UK and its sister companies; Advanced Chromatography Systems, from the USA and Unicam Chromatography, joined together to create the global chromatography solutions brand Ellutia. All three companies have been working closely together designing, producing and selling the same innovative range of gas chromatography instruments for over five years, but have always been perceived as separate entities. By coming together as a single unified brand Ellutia will be able to deliver even more consistent, higher quality services and products around the world.
