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.

Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) is emerging as one of the most concerning ultrashort-chain PFAS in Europe’s food supply – particularly in cereals, a staple consumed daily by millions. A report from PAN Europe reveals a widespread and largely unmonitored contamination trend that raises serious questions about food safety, regulatory blind spots, and future monitoring strategies.
PFAS analysis is complex, but expert guidance doesn’t have to be. In this episode of our ‘Ask the PFAS expert series’, we’re joined by Michael Scherer, Application Lead for Food and Environmental, to answer the most pressing questions in PFAS analysis. From why LC-MS/MS systems are the gold standard for analyzing diverse PFAS compounds, to which EU methods deliver reliable results for drinking water, and to practical steps to prevent contamination, Michael shares actionable insights to help laboratories achieve accuracy, consistency, and confidence in their workflows.
During an LC-MS/MS experiment, traditional fragmentation techniques like collision-induced dissociation (CID) have long been the gold standard. Electron-activated dissociation (EAD) is emerging as a transformative tool that enhances structural elucidation, particularly for complex or labile metabolites.
