General description

Nitrosamines are chemical compounds that can form during drug manufacturing and may pose health risks, including carcinogenicity.
N-Nitrosomethylethylamine is commonly employed as a reference compound in analytical chemistry. It is utilized in chromatographic and spectrometric techniques for the detection and quantification of nitrosamines in chemical, pharmaceutical, and environmental matrices.

Application

N-Nitrosomethylethylamine may be used as an analytical reference standard for the quantification of nitrosamine impurities in metformin drug products using liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS).

Analysis Note
