During RAFA 2015, New Food Magazine hosted a roundtable (sponsored by SCIEX) to bring together experts with routine food testing backgrounds to discuss the latest industry trends, challenges, recent technological advances, and expectations of future laboratories.
Both Vincent Paez, Senior Director of Food Testing and Andre Schreiber, Technical Applications Manager from SCIEX were in attendance and contribute with their extensive experience of working with and supporting routine testing laboratories, as well as developing advanced workflows on the forefront of food safety.
The roundtable began with a simple question, “In the next 10 years what key changes do you see happening in the food and beverage industry in terms of food analysis?” A detailed discussion followed which covered the aspects of commercial laboratory testing, university laboratory research, the rise of digital technologies and the simplification of processes – in particular, the importance of informatics.
If you are interested in learning more about what each of the speakers had to say we have embedded the full 51-minute roundtable for you to watch below.

In monoclonal antibody (mAb) development, assessment of purity and integrity of the protein in question is critical. CE‑SDS is the gold standard assay and is routinely run from analytical development through QC and lot release. It’s trusted because it consistently delivers quantitative, size‑based insight into purity and fragmentation, and it fits naturally into regulated environments.
In drug discovery and development, Metabolite Identification (Met ID) plays a critical role in understanding biotransformation pathways, ensuring safety, and meeting regulatory requirements. Advanced mass spectrometry techniques have revolutionized this process, particularly through electron-based fragmentation methods such as Electron Activated Dissociation (EAD) and Electron Transfer Dissociation (ETD). While both techniques leverage electron interactions to generate informative fragment ions, they differ significantly in mechanism, performance, and suitability for Met ID workflows.
In analytical laboratories, performance is not optional. Whether supporting regulated pharmaceutical workflows, high-throughput CRO operations, clinical reporting, or food and environmental testing, your mass spectrometry and capillary electrophoresis systems are critical to productivity, compliance, and scientific confidence.
