This roundtable webinar series brings together leading experts in pesticides analysis, mycotoxin testing, and food contact materials characterization to discuss the latest trends and the laboratory innovations set to transform the future of food safety testing.
Focus areas for food safety analytical testing
Meet increasing food testing demands on time and with the high degree of accuracy your lab requires. From pesticide residue analysis to detecting mycotoxins and other biotoxins, we have your analytical needs covered.
Pesticide residues analysis
From time-saving sample preparation and extraction to the analysis of hundreds of pesticides and their metabolites in a single run, we can help ensure reliable and efficient results while complying with regulatory requirements.
Food contact materials
Compounds can migrate from packaging into food manufacturers’ products. We can help you evaluate packaging and other contact materials at every step to ensure consumer safety.
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs)
Regulations regarding POPs, such as dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), are increasingly strict, requiring modern instruments and methods for screening and identification.
Mycotoxin and biotoxin analysis
Ensure your food and feed products are toxin-free with our economical and robust analytical tools and solutions.
Food authenticity and profiling
Deliberate adulteration of food and misrepresentation to deceive consumers are illegal worldwide. Our testing innovations help you distinguish between genuine and fraudulent ingredients to instill consumer confidence.
Vet drug residue analysis
Reduce start-up time and cost associated with expanding analytical capabilities. With our LC-MS solutions, you can perform robust targeted quantitation of multiclass veterinary drug residues in food matrices.
Food testing technologies
Select the right technology to support your testing needs and search our online AppsLab Library of Analytical Applications to access analytical methods with detailed method information, chromatograms, and related compound information.
