Analysis of acetamide and acrylamide in THS aerosol


Authored by  PMI

The aerosol samples are generated with a linear smoking machine and collected on a Cambridge filter pad. Target compounds are then extracted with 2-butanone containing the internal standards.
The extracts are analyzed by Gas Chromatography with Electron Impact Mass Spectrometry (GC-EI-MS). The GC system is equipped with a column DB-WAXETR 0.25 mm x 30 m x 0.25 µm.
Results are expressed as µg/item for Platform 1.

Our RRPs

Reduced-risk products ("RRPs") is the term we use to refer to products that present, are likely to present, or have the potential to present less risk of harm to smokers who switch to these products versus continued smoking. We have a range of RRPs in various stages of development, scientific assessment and commercialization. Because our RRPs do not burn tobacco, they produce an aerosol that contains far lower quantities of harmful and potentially harmful constituents than found in cigarette smoke.
