Oxford Instruments Pulsar Benchtop NMR for Meat Speciation
18 May 2014
Watch this video to learn how the Pulsar™ benchtop NMR can be used to determine meat speciation in food products. The fatty acid component of triglycerides found in animal tissue is known to differ between species and can be used to detect contamination and adulteration.
About the company
Oxford Instruments
Oxford Instruments designs, supplies and supports high-technology tools and systems with a focus on research and industrial applications. It provides solutions needed to advance fundamental physics research and its transfer into commercial nanotechnology applications.
