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.
BD BBL™ prepared tubed media offer a variety of media types and fill volumes to fit your needs. Tubes are borosilicate glass with black screw caps securely fitted to prevent loss of moisture. A special resilient rubber liner is affixed inside each cap with a unique adhesive that resists displacement even during autoclaving. Larger tubes permit easy inoculation or streaking of media. Prepared slanted media are supplied in tube…
A selective and differential medium for the isolation and presumptive identification of Salmonella species from stool with a highly specific chromogenic reaction.
For detection of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE)
BBL CHROMagar ESBL biplate is a chromogenic selective screening medium for the detection of Enterobacteriaceae-producing, extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs):
Elite-1, 100% dimethyl polysiloxane, columns are highly versatile, non-polar, cross-linked general purpose columns that are rugged, exhibiting long column lifetime, low bleed, and high maximum operating temperatures.
The Elite-5 is a 5% diphenyl/95% dimethyl polysiloxane stationary phase. It is regarded as a general purpose, low polarity phase that is the most popular GC stationary phase. The Elite-5 is a crosslinked phase in which all residual catalysts and low molecular weight fragments have been removed providing a tight mono-modal distribution and extremely low bleed.
The Elite-5ms phase (5% 1,4-bis(dimethylsiloxy)phenylene, 95% dimethyl polysiloxane) incorporates a phenyl group in the polymer backbone to improve thermal stability, reduce bleed and make the phase less prone to oxidation. This results in inertness to active compounds and extremely low bleed for sensitive MS applications.
The Epic™ line of LC columns is based on high density monomerically bonded phases produced through a proprietary bonding process. Epic HPLC columns are compatible with a wide range of organic modifiers and buffers and stable over a wide pH range. All Epic products use an ultra-high purity metal free silica and undergo strict quality control testing. For flexibility, we offer a wide range of column sizes as well being fully sc…
Under highly aqueous conditions, our novel proprietary bonding chemistry allows the bonded chains to remain fully extended in the mobile phase. Epic™ Polar can retain highly water-soluble compounds such as small organic acids, water-soluble vitamins, purines and pyrimidines, catecholamines and other polar compounds. The Epic Polar column offers improved polar compound retention under RP conditions which has been further refin…
The unique properties of Epic™ Naphthyl places its selectivity between graphitized carbon and alkyl type stationary phases. Epic Naphthyl is a naphthalene-based material, with high bonding density and exhibits strong π-π interaction and charge transfer interactions and performs well for diastereomer separations and non-polar compounds. Epic HPLC and UHPLC columns are compatible with a wide range of organic modifiers and buffe…
