More new kit – liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LCMS)
Identifying organic contaminants
A significant investment in analytical equipment will help us provide clients with an even better organic contaminant analysis service. The new improved suite of liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LCMS) instruments allows us to expand our analyses for mycotoxins, agricultural contaminants, and low levels of pesticides, as well as melamine and acrylamide. Nick Byrd, chromatography section manager, commented:
"This array of instruments is very versatile. We can also determine levels of vitamins, and are developing assays for low levels of packaging contaminants (down to 10ppb), and for the specific peptide sequences associated with allergens."
