- SCIEX Responds to Increasing Demand in Food Safety Testing
New software application, chemistry and pre-packaged methods form complete mass spectrometry workflow solution
Recent changes to food safety regulations have resulted in the need for laboratories to improve the way they test for contaminants. As a trusted partner with the food testing industry, SCIEX is responding to this increasing demand by delivering the industry's most complete mass spectrometry solution available to screen, identify, and quantify hundreds of pesticides in a single run. This solution includes the new iDQuantTM Standards Kit for Pesticide Analysis, iMethodTM Test for Pesticide Screening, iMethodTM Pesticide Screening Library and a new version of Cliquid® Software. These new tools are expected to help further break the barrier of the food testing community adopting tandem mass spectrometry technologies, such as QTRAP® technology, for quantitative and qualitative analysis. These tools are on display at the ASMS conference in Denver this week.
New food protection laws in several countries are requiring more stringent food testing procedures, which require more powerful technologies that can identify contaminants, faster and in smaller quantities. Facing tough challenges to identify a wider range of contaminants and in less time, scientists and lab analysts are seeking solutions that deliver the highest confidence in results while eliminating complexity.
To address these challenges, SCIEX has been working closely with a variety of food testing experts to develop new Cliquid® Software-based solutions that better meet their needs for faster, more detailed answers, more intuitive controls and improved built-in library searching. Cliquid® Software, combined with iMethodTM Tests, forms the basis of solutions that enable scientists to identify unknown compounds much more easily.
The new solutions, which are optimized for use on SCIEX mass spectrometers, include the following:
