Detection of Ricin in Milk Using Immunomagnetic Separation (IMS) with Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) Detection

18 May 2014

This application note discusses the combination of two techniques to develop a method for fast, reliable, and economic determination of ricin in milk. The two techniques used are immunomagnetic separation (IMS) and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection.

TQ Analyst™ Pro Edition Software

Thermo Fisher Scientific

Unlock the full potential of near-infrared (NIR) using the intuitive approach to sample identification, verification, and qualitative and quantitative analysis of the Thermo Scientific™ TQ Analyst™ Professional Edition Software. Designed for spectroscopists of all experience levels, the TQ Analyst Pro Software is a comprehensive method development platform with all the performance and flexibility to develop robust methods. It offers a complete set of tools for spectral measurement, classification and quantitative analysis.The TQ Analyst Pro Software is a powerful tool for manufacturing, research, education and corporate environments and is used as a complement to Thermo Scientific™ OMNIC™ FT-IR Software, Thermo Scientific™ RESULT™ Software, or as a stand-alone package. Built-in file converters allow many data types to be analyzed.You can develop high performance methods without having previous experience using smart tutorials with artificial intelligence, “software wizards.” These software wizards guide users through the method development process by asking basic questions, analyzing spectra, determining method feasibility and suggesting improvements. Although TQ Analyst Pro provides wizards to simplify the development process, experienced chemometricans can bypass these wizards and move directly into method development.Features: Spectral preprocessing and selection Pathlength treatments Complete diagnostics Data handling Complete qualitative and quantitative tools Algorithmic correction and method transferability

Raman SpectroscopyRaman spectroscopy is used to discern the vibrational and rotational states of molecules and hence the chemical composition of a sample by measuring the inelastic scattering of monochromatic light. Explore a range of Raman spectrometers, including handheld/portable Raman spectrometers for QC/QA labs and in situ spectrometers for processes. Conduct Raman imaging for microanalysis of mixed samples using a Raman microscope. Raman spectrographs are also available.

It is consumed by infant mammals to provide nutrients from the mother. In 2008, the Chinese milk scandal saw the unlawful adulteration of powdered milk with melamine.Food FraudFood adulteration refers to food when it has been has been altered unlawfully with the addition of another lower commodity food product to increase quantity. The 2013 European horsemeat scandal saw the adulteration of beef products with the addition of horse meat.
