- Title
Additives "threaten research results.".
- Abstract
The article focuses on a research which found that using plastic laboratory equipment can skew experimental results because plastic additives sometimes leach into solutions. Researchers found that quaternary ammonium biocides and oleamides can leach from plastic laboratory equipment into experimental solutions and give false test results. Researchers used mass spectrometry to analyse experimental solutions at the molecular level, and found quaternary ammonium, oleamides and related chemicals present.
