Nitrosamine Testing

Nitrosamines are chemical compounds that are produced by reactions of nitrites with amines or amides. They can be found in rubber products, health, beauty care products, baby products, food products, pesticides and consumables.

As they are carcinogens, that can potentially cause cancer. Hence, manufacturers need to monitor the presence of nitrosamines in their products, so as to ensure safety, quality and compliance with regulations set by various countries.
