General description

4-Aminobiphenyl is classified under the aromatic amine group of compounds.

Application

4-Aminobiphenyl has been used as an analytical reference standard for the analysis of 4-aminobiphenyl in food packaging materials by liquid chromatography-full scan-high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS).
It may be used as an analytical reference standard for the determination of 4-aminobiphenyl in:
  • Particulate phase mainstream cigarette smoke samples by solid-phase extraction (SPE) and gas chromatography coupled to MS equipped with selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode of detection as well as simultaneous distillation and extraction (SDE) and GC-MS with SIM detection.
  • Environmental water samples by hollow fiber-liquid phase microextraction (HF-LPME) and microemulsion electrokinetic chromatography (MEEKC).
  • Indoor and outdoor air samples by GC-MS.

Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support.
