Waters
21 Apr 2014

The ASAP Probe and SQ Detector 2, combined with MarkerLynx XS data processing, was used to successfully screen ingredients that are used within the food and dietary supplements industry.

This approach is easy to adapt in any food production or QC environment to help rapidly analyze incoming samples.

The SQ Detector 2 has been designed to provide users with maximum versatility and minimum setup effort. Combining the SQ Detector 2 with MarkerLynx XS Software allows easy data interpretation to support the detection of potentially non-conforming products in a factory or QC environment.

Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place.

Contamination with a variety of pathogens can be prevented with adequate temperature control, hygiene and labeling. Food samples can be tested using GC/MS, HPLC, SPE, and qPCR to ensure their adherence to regulations.Food TestingFood testing refers to a variety experiments including PCR, mass spectrometry, processing, QuEChERS, analyzing and Kjeldahl.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.
