What Food Safety Trends are Coming This Year?

Mar 2, 2017 | Blogs, Food / Beverage | 0 comments

As we settle into 2017, I can’t help but reflect on the previous year’s food safety. Take for example the legislative changes meant to contain contamination outbreaks like those happening in places like China, Singapore, and New Zealand. Over the past year, we have developed new methods that detect antibiotics in poultry feed, LC-MS/MS Analysis of Emerging Contaminants, and help set food standards in China. All the while developing more sophisticated technology to keep up with testing demands.

Changes like this do not come easy. At SCIEX, one must be on top of trends before they happen, and as such, our R&D department spent most of the year investing in this new vision and updating mass spectrometry instruments to meet the challenges of today’s food labs.

You can read more about mine and my colleague’s perspectives on emerging technologies in Asian Food Journalin which we not only discuss product innovation and highlights but trends and opportunities too. Meanwhile, keep a look out for monthly blogs keeping you up to date on continuous trends.

The Take Away: Labs around the world are starting to migrate to High-Resolution MS workflows, particularly SWATH® Acquisition. Join me in adding your thoughts on what food and safety trends are coming this year by commenting below.

For research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Why traditional MS/MS falls short for ADCs and how electron-activated dissociation (EAD) changes the equation

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are among the most promising—and analytically demanding—modalities in biopharma today. By combining large, heterogeneous antibodies with chemically labile payloads and linkers, ADCs introduce a level of structural complexity that challenges conventional analytical workflows. It also poses the challenge that the very features you need to measure are often the easiest to lose during analysis.

Six benefits of remote support every laboratory should know

Imagine having a tech expert at your fingertips to solve computer issues or a fitness trainer guiding you through workouts from the comfort of your home. In today’s fast-paced world, the ability to provide and receive service and support remotely is no longer a luxury but a necessity. Whether it’s troubleshooting a software issue, repairing a device, offering customer assistance, or enjoying the convenience of telehealth as a private individual, remote capabilities have revolutionized how businesses operate and how individuals get help

The costly consequences of unplanned downtime

Unplanned downtime is a formidable adversary that businesses across various industries strive to minimize. Defined as the unexpected interruption of regular operations, unplanned downtime can wreak havoc on productivity, profitability and customer satisfaction. In this article, we delve into the causes of unplanned downtime, its far-reaching consequences and strategies to mitigate its impact.
