Food Safety
Low level residue monitoring & control is driven by consumer & environmental safety.
SPEX offers a range of sample preparation equipment and consumables that simplify and improve throughput for organic and inorganic analysis. This equipment has been shown to increase sample throughput; improve analyte recovery; and increase method reproducibility.
Scientists using the QuEChERS method frequently use the Geno/Grinder to shake and homogenize samples for both the extraction and clean- up steps. Furthermore, the SPEX Geno/Grinder is cited in EN 15662, Foods of plant origin – EU Multimethod for the determination of Pesticide Residues using GC and LC based analysis.
Food authentication is a rapidly growing field due to increasing public awareness concerning food quality, safety and its origin.
