Reliable Analytical Methods and Automated Sample Preparation Solutions for a Safe, Sustainable Food System
As global food supply chains grow increasingly complex, safeguarding both public health and nutritional quality have become an urgent global priority. Expanding international trade, emerging food technologies, and the accelerating effects of climate change are introducing new risks and straining existing regulatory systems.
To ensure a safe, sustainable, and traceable food system, reliable analytical methods must be applied at every stage of production, from raw material intake through processing to final packaging. Some technologies such as solid phase extraction (SPE) and immunoaffinity column clean-up (IAC), particularly when automated, enable high-quality, reproducible analysis of complex food matrices.
