Beverages Analysis
In the industry for wine, beer, or spirits there is an increasing focus on assessing the quality, purity and authenticity of both raw materials and final product. This increase in focus allows the production process itself to be controlled to ensure more consistent and higher quality products.
Beta- agonists
Consumption of beta – agonist contaminated meat has caused food poisoning incidents, and many countries and regions have banned its use for meat production. Clenbuterol, ractopamine, and salbutamol are commonly used beta-agonists and they are prohibited for use in food-producing animals, and their presence in meat products is illegal
Mycotoxins and Biotoxins
Biotoxins, including mycotoxins, phycotoxins and phytotoxins, occur in food through fungal infections, interaction-with or feeding-on other toxic organisms, naturally produced toxins as a means of protection or through internal processes in the food during storage. Biotoxins can be extremely dangerous to both animals and humans, causing illness and even death when present, and their control in food and animal feed is vitally important.
Pesticides
As food supply chains become increasingly global, governments are seeking to monitor a wider range of pesticides than ever before. This requires measuring hundreds of compounds in a number of different analyses, meaning labs need multi residue processes and sample preparation techniques that are both accurate and cost-effective. ChromSciences offers both established and new complimentary chemistries to separate targets from matrix, enabling labs to cover familiar matrices but also the more challenging ones
