Testing & Analysis

RSS

Can you tell whether whole-genome sequencing (WGS) or DNA fingerprinting is better for ensuring food safety? In truth, both are equally powerful techniques. Both have advantages and disadvantages and are realistic choices for maintaining food safety.

Advancements in testing automation have allowed for the development of smaller, more flexible solutions that fit into existing laboratory configurations and workflows. BioControl System’s Assurance GDS® system utilizes the targeted isolation capabilities of immunomagnetic separation and the specificity of DNA-based detection to provide fast and accurate results for even the most challenging food samples.

Survey results are presented from more than 100 food processors on their preparations for compliance with the Food Safety Modernization Act.

Foreign material can be a difficult and costly issue in food manufacturing.

New devices, so-called electronic noses, have been described as both a cost-effective and a timesaving substitute for the determination of shelf life, food quality and origin.

Science continues to seek new solutions to combat an unfortunately all too common problem.  

This pathogen detection system improves food safety by providing fast, easy-to-use and cost effective methodology to detect and prevent environmental pathogens.

Could silver offer an alternative antimicrobial food additive?  

Successful detection of pathogens in foods involves sampling, preanalytical sample preparation and detection.
