Training Program for Today’s Food and Beverage Testing Lab

Sep 13, 2017 | Blogs, Food / Beverage | 0 comments

Is your lab looking to acquire methods for food testing? What about getting better acquainted on the SCIEX Triple Quad™ or QTRAP® mass spectrometers to learn quantitation better? The following SCIEXUniversity Success Program training courses not only cover food and beverage quantitation but offer application training on topics such as meat speciation testing and pesticide analysis. Especially important considering the latest Fipronil contamination in eggs.I want to sign up for courses >

Why invest in food and beverage training program? Often, we see labs with new employees or those that are switching from clinical research to food testing. These courses are designed to equip your lab with new application workflows which you can also use as a tool to train new employees. After polling food testing labs, a majority requested education targeting the basic operator. Therefore, these courses are designed to teach the fundamentals about mass spec and HPLC. They are self-paced, so you will retain more of what you learn while you also get a sense of how the system runs and how mass spec performs in your lab

Mass Spec Food and Beverage Program – Today’s courses mean you will benefit from a combination of:

  • eLearning
  • On-site and hands-on training with an application expert
  • End of course knowledge assessment and certification

Program Descriptions:

  • Quantitation on SCIEX Triple Quad and QTRAP Systems: A personalized learning path for the Food and Beverage Quantitation Workflow based on a blend of self-paced eLearning and instructor-led hands-on training provided at your site. Upon completion of the learning path, you will be able to use your instrument and software for your workflow successfully. Program part number TRNLP003
  • Screening on SCIEX Triple Quad and QTRAP Systems: A personalized learning path for the Food and Beverage Screening Workflow based on a blend of self-paced eLearning and instructor-led hands-on training provided at your site. Upon completion of the learning path, you will be able to use your instrument and software for your workflow successfully. Program part number TRNLP003
  • Quantitation and Screening on SCIEX X500R QTOF System (NEW): A personalized learning path for Food and Beverage Quantitation and Screening Workflows on the SCIEX X500R QTOF System. The learning path is based on a blend of self-paced eLearning, and instructor-led hands-on training provided at your site. Upon completion of the learning path, you will be able to use your instrument and software for your workflow successfully. Program part number TRNLP003
  • Food and Beverage program courses will take you get deeper and deeper to the application workflow level and conclude with the ever-important system maintenance.

Questions and answers to help improve your mycotoxin analysis

During a recent webinar I shared method details for mycotoxin analysis on the SCIEX 7500 system. In this blog i will share the Q&A for the submitted questions that we did not have chance to answer during the live webinar.

A 2-fold revolution: MS approaches for the bioanalysis of oligonucleotide therapeutics

In 1998, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved fomivirsen as the first therapeutic oligonucleotide therapeutic. This approval marked a revolution of mechanism of action discovered decades before finally coming to fruition. Since then, the landscape of chemical modifications of oligonucleotides, conjugations and formulations has evolved tremendously, contributing to improvements in stability, efficacy and safety. Today, more than a dozen antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) and small interfering RNA (siRNA) drugs are on the market, most of which are designated as orphan drugs for treating rare genetic diseases.

Is “right first time, every time” a pipedream for metabolite identification by LC-MS?

If we lived in an ideal world, it would be possible to unambiguously identify metabolites using a single analytical experiment. This analytical technique would need to be efficient and easily generate the information needed from a routine assay that is also robust, enabling confident decision-making during drug discovery.
