Food and beverage testing is a critical scientific practice that ensures food safety, food quality, and compliance of food and drink products. Through comprehensive analysis, food testing labs assess factors such as microbiological contamination, chemical residues, nutritional content, and authenticity. By adhering to strict regulatory standards and industry guidelines, food and beverage testing helps maintain product integrity, fight food fraud, prevent foodborne illnesses, and meet consumer expectations for safety and transparency. Explore how food and beverage testing labs play a pivotal role in safeguarding public health and promoting trust in the global food supply chain.
Agilent J&W VF-1ms is a highly inert, nonpolar 100% dimethylpolysiloxane phase, ultra-low-bleed GC column providing increased sensitivity over a broad array of applications, particularly for energy, pharmaceutical, and environmental analyses.
Agilent J&W VF-5ms is an inert 5% phenyl-methyl column for increased sensitivity, accuracy and instrument uptime. The column has the lowest guaranteed bleed specification of 1 pA at 325 °C (30 m, 0.25 mm, 0.25 µm).
Agilent J&W DB-ProSteel metal columns are deactivated with a special process treatment formula to provide good inertness. The columns can be custom-wound on request for small GC ovens. DB-ProSteel has the same outer diameter as standard megabore columns of 0.53 mm id so no special ferrules are required for proper installation.
Agilent J&W HP-101 is a 100% dimethylpolysiloxane phase. It is not bonded or cross-linked, and is therefore useful for established methods that do not require the column to have cross-linked or bonded polymer phases. Note: Because HP-101 columns are not bonded or cross-linked, we do not recommend solvent rinsing.
Agilent J&W Carbowax 20M and HP-20M are polyethylene glycol (PEG) columns equivalent to USP phase G16. Their temperature range of 60 to 220 ºC is ideal for alcohols, free acid, ether, glycol, and solvents. Carbowax 20M and HP-20M are not bonded or cross-linked and so solvent rinsing is not recommended. DB-WAX is the bonded alternative for HP-20M.
Agilent J&W Select PAH is the first capillary column that provides a single solution for PAH analysis by separating all the isomers, thereby avoiding false positives and inaccurate results. It provides easy, fast, and accurate quantification of PAHs in environmental and food samples by resolving PAH isomers.
Agilent J&W DB-EUPAH columns are designed and tested to provide the most optimal performance for all 16 EU-regulated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The columns are individually tested with an application-specific QC test probe mixture and deliver excellent resolution of critical PAH isomers, such as benzo(b,j,k)fluoranthene.
Agilent J&W CP-Sil PAH CB UltiMetal combines the advantages of a highly thermo-stable stationary phase with UltiMetal stainless steel as the column material. This unique column separates all 16 PAHs according to EPA method 610.
Agilent J&W HP-PAS5 nonpolar columns are specifically designed and processed for the analysis of organochlorine pesticides. With an operating temperature range of -60 to 325/350 ºC, all HP-PAS5 columns are ECD-tested to assure minimal pesticide breakdown and low ECD bleed.
Agilent J&W DB-608 columns are precision-engineered to deliver industry-leading performance in the effective analysis of chlorinated pesticides and PCBs. DB-608 widely used for U.S. EPA methods 608, 508, and 8080, and deliver excellent inertness and recoveries, without resulting in pesticide breakdown.
