MonoTrap is a high purity silica gel having the large surface area provided by the three dimensional silica monolith's network of through pores and meso pore It is a newly developed, state of the art sorptive media which offers unmatched adsorption and desorption efficiency It is suitable for liquid, air and solid samples.
In this note a MonoTrap was fixed both in a normal and electronic cigarette filter in order to collect the main volatile compounds in cigarette smoke and which are inhaled by the mouth Many compounds such as hydrocarbons, ketone, pyridines, furans and many others were detected and differences were found depending whether the cigarette is a normal or an electronic one.
