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.
Functional groups, such as octyl (C8) and octadecyl (C18), can be bonded to the silica surface to provide non polar interactions. Each of these sorbents exhibits unique properties of retention and selectivity for a particular analyte. The choice of which sorbent is best for a particular method will be influenced by the percent recovery of analyte from the sample matrix and the cleanliness of the resulting chromatography.
This chemistry promotes high retention of a wide range of analytes, reducing method development time and facilitating a generic approach to sample preparation.

SDB-XC is a poly(styrenedivinylbenzene) copolymer used as a reversed phase sorbent for solid phase extraction. SDB-XC is not bonded to silica but is a 100% copolymeric particle that is spherical, porous and cross-linked. It does not exhibit the secondary cationic (silanol) interactions and pH limitations common to bonded silica sorbents, so it offers more predictable and reproducible reversed phase interaction.
The Empore™ High Performance Extraction Disk Plate differs in design from plates offered by other manufacturers and requires a specific vacuum manifold. Manifolds supplied by different plate manufacturers are specific to the design of their plates and cannot generally be used with plates from other manufacturers. In some cases, the use of spacers to raise/lower the height of a collection device inside the manifold may overco…
Replacement gaskets are available with the vacuum manifold assembly. The gasket can become worn over time and the seal between the plate and the manifold will be affected. This may result in poor vacuum pressure and negatively effect flow rates. The gasket should be checked regularly and replaced when it becomes worn.
Empore Filter Aid 400 has been shown to improve flow rates and recoveries for separation and filtration of water samples containing suspended solids. When placed on top of the Empore™ Extraction Disk at a depth of about 1 cm, Empore™ Filter Aid 400 acts as depth filter to inhibit the migration of suspended solids to the surface of the disk. This reduces extraction time and improves rates and recovery of analytes.
Agilent Bio-Monolith HPLC columns provide high resolution and rapid separations of antibodies (IgG, IgM), plasmid DNA, viruses, phages and other macro biomolecules. The product family offers strong cation exchange, strong and weak anion exchange, and Protein A phases.
Power SYBR® Green RNA-to-CT 2-Step Kit is a flexible kit that enables a two-step protocol for performing reverse transcription and cDNA quantitation by real-time PCR. The kit includes the High Capacity RNA-to-cDNA and the PowerSYBR® Green PCR Master Mix. The High Capacity RNA-to-cDNA Kit is used to first reverse transcribe RNA into cDNA and the resulting cDNA is then quantitated using the PowerSYBR® Green PCR Master Mix for…
Spark has introduced the second edition of HySphere™ C8 End-Capped cartridges. We have selected a new perfect Spherical sorbent material with a narrow particle size distribution. This will create less back pressure during operation and allows you to run higher flow rates compared to our current HySphere™ C8 (EC). The new cartridge has the same excellent characteristics such as high extraction capacity and selectivity
