- Short Description: An Automated Total Nitrosamine Analyser (ATNA) is a specialized high-throughput laboratory system designed to rapidly screen products for carcinogenic nitrosamine impurities. Pioneered prominently by companies like Ellutia Chromatography Solutions, the instrument determines the Apparent Total Nitrosamine Content (ATNC) in a single quantitative value down to 1 part per billion (ppb). Unlike conventional mass spectrometry techniques, it functions without requiring reference standards for individual nitrosamines, making it a critical screening tool for regulatory compliance in pharmaceuticals, water treatment, and food production.
