The AQUALAB 5TE is the first instrument to deliver both water activity (aw) and moisture content results in a single 60-second test, eliminating the need for separate instruments and workflows.
The recent Cyclospora outbreak highlights how VIS-NIR, Raman/SERS, chemometrics and machine learning are being investigated for faster food-safety screening.
A spectrometer watching a conveyor or checking a stainless steel surface between shifts may sound futuristic, but research suggests we may not be as far from that factory as we think.
Rather than a hodge-podge of sanitation and cleaning records scattered everywhere, why not tie them together digitally so they’re available in minutes or hours rather than days or weeks?
The InstaFlux workflow enables food microbiology laboratories to prepare media on demand in less than 30 minutes and supports a simplified process to sample incubation.
Effective environmental monitoring programs are defined not by how much data they collect, but by how quickly they trace data forward and backward to isolate the source and analyze the impact.
Across the products tested, most samples had undetectable or very low levels of contaminants including lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, pesticides, PFAS and phthalates.
While at times the number of food safety recalls seems to be rising, in most cases, the recalls are smaller in lot size and don’t progress very far through the supply chain because the tools stop most major potential outbreaks.
Given the pivotal role pH plays in many aspects of food production, choosing the right pH electrode and meter is an important step in solving top pH testing concerns.
The new system addresses challenges around food and water quality testing in the face of contaminants such as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), pesticides and other pollutants.
Operating as a part of NSF’s largest division, Food and Nutrition, the addition of Cambium Analytica’s capabilities allow the organization to stay ahead of market trends and client needs.
