Introducing the Thermo Scientific Orbitrap Exploris EFOX Mass Detector for accurate and efficient testing

The Orbitrap Exploris EFOX (Environmental Food Organic Xenobiotics) Mass Detector is empowering the field of environmental and food safety testing. This high-resolution accurate mass (HRAM) system is designed to satisfy industry demands with the ability to perform targeted analysis and precise quantitation, suspect screening, as well as sample profiling.

 

Simplifying high-resolution detection for safer food and a cleaner environment

Testing laboratories face increasing pressure to deliver efficient, reliable results while adhering to stringent regulatory requirements and managing tight budgets. The Orbitrap Exploris EFOX Mass Detector addresses these issues by simplifying workflows, reducing costs, and enabling faster, more reliable testing, thus supporting laboratories in protecting public health and the environment more efficiently.

 

The Orbitrap Exploris EFOX Mass Detector leverages full-scan high-resolution mass spectrometry acquisition, enabling retrospective data analysis and the ability to easily add new compounds of interest without redeveloping methods and the need to reinject your sample, unlike conventional systems that require time-consuming MS/MS development and optimization, in addition to retention time adjustments.

Complexities in environmental testing

Environmental labs face multiple challenges while rapidly and accurately detecting contaminants in various ecosystems, including water, soil, and air. Diverse and complex samples and stringent regulatory standards to help ensure public health and environmental protection complicate the testing process. Traditional testing solutions often involve lengthy method development cycles and cumbersome data review processes, delaying critical decision-making.

 

The Orbitrap Exploris EFOX Mass Detector simplifies environmental testing workflows, enabling faster and more reliable detection of a wide range of pollutants, including ubiquitous contaminants like per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), with certain of these recently being added to the list of persistent organic pollutants (POPs).Its high-resolution capabilities and streamlined data processing reduce turnaround time and operational burden, helping labs achieve and maintain regulatory compliance more efficiently.

Challenges in food safety testing

Ensuring that food products are free from harmful contaminants, such as pesticides, mycotoxins, and veterinary drugs, food safety testing laboratories manage large sample volumes, while needing to accurately quantify trace contaminants in diverse food matrices. Additionally, strict food safety regulations are in place to protect consumer health and maintain trust in the food supply chain.

 

With out-of-the-box workflows for key environmental and food safety applications, including PFAS and pesticide testing, the high-throughput Orbitrap Exploris EFOX Mass Detector is compliance-ready, supporting labs in meeting stringent regulatory requirements with confidence and efficiency.

Detecting organic contaminants

Detecting organic contaminants, including pharmaceuticals, industrial chemicals, and pesticides, in complex matrices often requires high-resolution analytical techniques for accurate quantitation and potential screening at very low concentrations. Regulatory compliance and the ability to perform retrospective analysis to identify emerging contaminants are critical.

 

The Orbitrap Exploris EFOX Mass Detector supports targeted analysis and precise quantitation, suspect screening, in addition to sample profiling of organic contaminants. Its full-scan high-resolution mass spectrometry acquisition enables retrospective data analysis, allowing labs to easily add new compounds of interest without redeveloping methods and the need to reinject your sample.

The Orbitrap Exploris EFOX Mass Detector addresses the challenges to empower labs with delivering efficient, reliable results, helping to ensure safer food, cleaner environments, and increasing confidence in regulatory compliance.
