Surface active agents — Determination of ethanol amines in nonionic surfactants by HPLC-MS-MS

Scope

This document describes the use of high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) for the specific separation and detection of trace amounts of MEA, DEA and TEA in nonionicsurfactants or product matrices containing ethanolamine derivatives. This standard is applicable to the determination of MEA, DEA and TEA in nonionicsurfactants or product matrices containing ethanolamine derivatives.
