The researchers analyzed cost and sequencing-volume data from 23 FDA and FDA partner GenomeTrakr laboratories. Findings suggested that WGS-based genomic surveillance is a cost-effective public health investment.

Both the SC20 and SC25 models incorporate a variable-speed orbital shaker, enabling simultaneous sample mixing and temperature control. The tools can be used for biological and other samples, with a number of applications, including sample storage.

Together with the Thermo Scientific Vanquish Duo UHPLC System and new Isotope Discoverer Software, the instruments comprise an integrated workflow for molecular-level isotope ratio analysis. Potential applications include food and beverage authenticity by tracing the sources and pathways of contaminants.

In this bonus episode of Food Safety Matters, we speak to NomadX CEO Lyle Probst about developments in pathogen detection, artificial intelligence, and industry mindsets are shaping the future of food safety management and incident response. 

Commonly found in a wide array of products, from non-stick pans to firefighting foams, PFAS are valued for their resistance to heat, water, and oil. 

In this episode of Food Safety Matters, we speak to exposure scientist and toxicologist Dr. Alex LeBeau about the generation, interpretation, and responsible communication of food contaminant testing data—a conversation raised by recent reports on arsenic in candy from Florida officials.

As the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, SGS prides itself on establishing the global benchmark for sustainability, quality, and integrity.

Effective July 20, to support risk surveillance, the agency will perform metals analysis on samples that are already collected for allergen verification.

In-house quality control teams and third-party laboratories can use the GENE-UP PROBIOTIC SPECIES ID assay to identify 18 commonly used probiotic species in 90 minutes or less.

Supporting routine laboratory testing, the GENESYS G5 series features an expanded software ecosystem with optional application-specific packages, including guided workflows and preconfigured methods intended to reduce setup time and improve consistency.
