Simplifying the complexity of food analysis

This webinar will provide an overview of ICP-MS and how it can used to analyse the most challenge food samples.

Elemental analysis of food samples is critical for several reasons, including food labelling, determining content of nutritional elements and ensuring consumer safety through the absence of heavy metals. ICP-MS is a common analysis tool employed by many labs to meet these analysis requirements using a technique that has evolved to offer the sensitivity required to meet regulations. However, the challenges of high-matrix samples and ensuring instrument uptime remain some of the greatest obstacles that laboratories face when carrying out food sample analyses.

This event will demonstrate how the new Thermo Scientific iCAP  RQplus ICP-MS addresses these needs with robust sample introduction and automation.

  • Discover how modern ICP-MS technology can simplify your workflow by removing complexity from analysis
  • Learn how software tools can help your instrument meet performance specifications every day
  • Learn how to increase your sample throughput by up to 25 percent while reducing analysis costs and reducing turnaround time.
