TSRC, Tob. Sci. Res. Conf., 2019, 73, abstr. 058 USP elemental impurities: limit test for metals in nicotine by ICP-MS LOTFI H.; ARROYO M. Global Laboratory Services, Wilson, NC, USA Nicotine included in e-cigarette formulations usually originates as a 90%+ solution, which is purified further prior to use. While the FDA oversees the tobacco industry, there is currently little regulation regarding the quality of raw materials or...
TSRC, Tob. Sci. Res. Conf., 2018, 72, abstr. 109 An improved method for the determination of sodium propionate in tobacco products WILLIAMSON F.; BAILEY J. Global Laboratory Services, Wilson, NC, USA Sodium propionate is a preservative with fungicidal properties that is often added to tobacco, primarily smokeless tobacco products, to prolong shelf life. Several regulatory agencies, including Health Canada and ANVISA, require the testing of sodium...
CORESTA Meeting, Agronomy/Phytopathology, 2015, Izmir, Turkey, AP 32 CPA residue levels in consecutive C48 cases of Oriental tobacco WESTBERG H.; SPENCER A. Global Laboratory Services, Wilson, NC, U.S.A. Crop protection agents (CPA) can be applied to tobacco at various stages of the production cycle and if CPA residues are present in the product, they can be topic of concern. After tobacco is processed it is normally packed into cases or bales for...
TSRC, Tob. Sci. Res. Conf., 2015, 69, abstr. 48 Method development and validation of selected metals in e-liquid samples BROWN J. Global Laboratory Services, Inc., Wilson, NC USA Over the past several years, the use of electronic cigarettes and devices has increased.

TSRC, Tob. Sci. Res. Conf., 2013, 67, abstr. 08 Comparison of auto analyzer methods: discrete vs continuous flow. THURSTON D. Global Laboratory Services, Inc., Wilson, NC, USA Chloride, Sugar, Alkaloids, and Nitrate results were compared using a discrete analyzer and a continuous flow auto analyzer. The new generation discrete analyzers are more automated than the continuous flow auto analyzers. In our initial assessment,...
CORESTA Congress, Sapporo, 2012, Agronomy/Phytopathology Groups, AP 17 Responses of flue-cured tobacco to the fertilisation of sulphur (SO4) in South Africa BOSHOFF H.J. Agricultural Research Council – Institute for Industrial Crops, Rustenburg, South Africa The objective of this study was to investigate the possible benefits of an increased supply of calcium on the yield, quality and chemical composition of flue-cured tobacco, specifically on soils that proportionally have a large amount of extractable...
CORESTA Meeting, Agronomy/Phytopathology, 2011, Santiago, PPOST 09 Black shank resistance in air-cured tobacco - South Africa DE BEER M.C.; TERBLANCHE J. ARC, Agricultural Research Council - Institute for Industrial Crops, Rustenburg, South Africa In the South African air-cured tobacco producing regions, black shank, caused by Phytophthora nicotianae var. nicotianae, is a major concern. The control of this disease is based only on crop rotation and chemical control by means of metalaxyl...
CORESTA Congress, Edinburgh, 2010, AP 24 Evaluation of host suitability for meloidogyne species of rotational crops used in tobacco cultivation in South Africa VAN BILJON E.R. ARC, Agricultural Research Council - Institute for Industrial Crops, Rustenburg, South Africa Crop rotation is the single most useful practice that can realistically be applied to annual and short- term perennial crops. It is also not uncommon for a single field to have several nematode species present that could have a limiting effect on a...
TSRC, Tob. Sci. Res. Conf., 2009, 63, abstr. 10 TSNA method comparison using UHPLC-MS/MS MATHIS J.A.; PO YING YEUNG Global Laboratory Services, Wilson, NC, USA. Method development and optimization was performed for the quantification of tobacco specific nitrosoamines (TSNAs) in tobacco leaf. The objective was to shorten run time and compare the new method to the previous method. The evaluation of method...
