title: [Modern analytical methods and drug safety (author's transl)].
abstract: With the N-nitroso compounds for an example this paper tries to show the problems we are confronted with by the commonly admired perfection of modern analytical techniques. By the very same example, however, it can be illustrated how we retreat to decisions ut aliquid fieri videatur if we cannot really master those problems. This seems particularly so when problems of drug safety are at issue.
