Meredith Conoley said: “Te EVOQ Elite is designed to deliver game-changing performance for laboratories involved in high throughput quantitation. Innovations in hardware, including the revolutionary Active Exhaust and Orifice Interface, have contributed to an LC-MS/MS of exceptional sensitivity, while the EVOQ’s IQ Dual Ion Funnel, VIP-HESI and the new PACER software make it user-friendly and cost-effective. With its sustained high performance, the EVOQ Elite offers advantages to any lab conducting routine analysis of water quality, as well as environmental monitoring and food testing.”
Antimicrobial testing Antimicrobials are used to kill or prevent the presence of bacteria or viruses that are detrimental to health. Tey are used in the food production industry to treat infections but also to act as a growth promoting compound.
Te use of certain antimicrobials
has been banned in food producing animals in many countries and maximum residue limits (MRLs) have been set in order to monitor antimicrobial usage.
A reliable and cost-effective screening method is required within the honey testing industry to ensure that the produce on our shelves is safe for consumers.
Randox Food Diagnostics has developed the new antimicrobial array IV (AMIV) to detect multiple antimicrobial compounds in a single honey sample on the Evidence Investigator screening analyser.
Unlike other commercially available kits that provide qualitative determination only, the AMIV testing platform is able to discriminate between compounds, providing a quantitative concentration.
According to Randox, benefits of the AMIV array include: excellent sensitivity - detects both marker
