Expert insights

This upcoming SelectScience webinar will highlight sample preparation and qPCR to increase throughput in the Food industry.

By 2050, the world's population will grow to around nine billion people. In addition to increasing the amount of food produced, the demand for adequate food security will also increase and ensuring a high-quality level of food will become a global challenge of the 21st century.

Quality criteria often have to meet national and international standards and the rising number of daily examinations on food composition or possible contamination pose new challenges to molecular biology investigations.

In this webinar, experts from Analytik Jena in the area of life sciences, sample preparation and qPCR will provide methods and solutions for the most common challenges associated with high-throughput real-time PCR, with a special focus on analysis in the food industry.
