N′-Nitrosonornicotine, also known as NNN, is a nitrosamine and potential carcinogen found in a variety of tobacco products including snuff, cigarettes, chewing tobacco, and cigars. Certified Spiking Solutions® are suitable for use in nicotine testing or environmental monitoring by LC-MS/MS or GC/MS.

A tobacco-specific nitrosamine (TSNA), N-nitrosonornicotine (NNN), is a potent carcinogen present in cigarette smoke, and chronic exposure to it can lead to pulmonary cancer. NNN causes changes in phospholipid metabolism and the mechanism is yet to be elucidated. Exposure of

The manner in which humans smoke cigarettes is an important determinant of smoking risks. Of the few investigators that have predicted cancer risks from smoking on a chemical-specific basis, most used mainstream cigarette smoke (MCS) carcinogen emissions obtained via machine

N-nitrosonornicotine (NNN), 4-( methylnitrosamino )-1-(3-pyridyl )-1-butanone (NNK), N-nitrosoanatabine (NAT) and N-nitrosoanabasine (NAB) are the most abundant carcinogens identified in tobacco and tobacco smoke. The accurate quantifications of NNN, NNK, NAT and NAB are necessary to evaluate its impact on the

Specific biomarkers of tobacco carcinogen uptake are critical for investigations of the role of tobacco smoke exposure in human cancers. Two new biomarkers of human exposure to tobacco-specific carcinogens have been recently developed by our research group: urinary N'-nitrosonornicotine (NNN)
N'-Nitrosonornicotine (NNN) and 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) are tobacco-specific nitrosamines. NNN and NNK can induce cancers of the esophagus and lung, respectively, in laboratory animals, but data on human esophageal cancer are lacking. The association between levels of NNN and 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol (NNAL)
Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
