New Monitoring System Collects and Analyses Data from Multiple Quality Tests
Hygiena, a Warburg Pincus portfolio company specialising in rapid microbial detection, monitoring, and identification solutions, has introduced the new EnSURE™ Touch Monitoring System. The EnSURE Touch is a next-generation monitoring system that collects, analyses and reports data from multiple quality tests such as ATP, microorganisms, and enzymes, providing necessary data for audit and risk management.
The EnSURE Touch features the superior chemistry, sensitivity, and reliability enjoyed by Hygiena customers and incorporates innovative design and functionality upgrades including: responsive 5” shatter-proof touch screen that works while wearing gloves; re-designed user interface that functions like a smartphone and configures to fit any facility or network of facilities; Wi-Fi capabilities and wireless sync technology for secure data transfer to new cloud-based software; collection and storage of important testing data such as room number, line name, cleaner used, and more; training remote teams with built-in screen sharing technology.
“We are excited about introducing the next generation of convenient, accurate testing for possible contamination,” said Steven Nason, CEO of Hygiena. “The EnSURE Touch is the result of new, advanced research and engineering, and incorporates the superior chemistry and ability of our previous instruments with today’s data management and hand-held technology.”
The EnSURE Touch is designed with its users in mind. Incorporating key design features and customisation options, it is easily setup for industries such as food and beverage manufacturing, healthcare, food service, hospitality, and many more. The EnSURE Touch is accompanied by the latest version of Hygiena’s SureTrend Data Analysis Software, SureTrend Cloud. The updated software is available in cloud- based or desktop formats and enables users to monitor, track, and trend testing results across one or multiple facilities, schedule automatic reports, and easily configure one or hundreds of monitoring systems from a single SureTrend account.

New Columns Ensure Accurate GC Analysis of Triglycerides in Edible Oils
With best-in-class thermal stability, new Rxi-65TG columns from Restek are the top choice for accurate, reliable analysis of triglycerides (acylglycerols) in edible oils. Novel chemistry and cutting-edge manufacturing allow Rxi-65TG columns to outperform leading competitor columns and produce less bleed at a higher maximum temperature (370°C) than competitor columns produce at their lower maximum temperature (360°C). Less interference from column bleed means more accurate and sensitive detection of edible oil triglycerides, and more certainty in the results you report. In addition, higher temperature stability means consistent performance and longer column lifetimes with fewer column changes.
Food testing labs will benefit from the reproducible retention times, robust inertness, stable baselines, and consistent column-to-column performance provided by low-bleed Rxi-65TG columns.

Total Fat Measurements for the Food Industry
The traditional extraction methods for the determination of fats in foods are well documented, especially for the dairy industry. They involve either acid or alkaline hydrolysis and then solvent extraction. These methods are labour intensive, require long extraction times, and have a high solvent consumption. Alternative gravimetric processes that are able to reduce the working steps and costs of these methods are therefore becoming more popular.
One such process uses a Milestone EthosX microwave enhanced extraction system that provides faster, safer and lower-cost fat extraction than traditional methods whilst providing equivalent results. The acid hydrolysis and solvent extraction stages work in parallel at elevated temperature and pressure conditions. This reduces both the working time as well as costs related to the large amounts of solvent used in traditional methods.
The Milestone EthosX system from Analytix can be used with many food matrices and accurate total fat determination of 12 samples can be achieved in just 90 minutes using 25ml of solvent. This would typically take 180 minutes and 100ml of solvent with traditional methods.
Aside from the speed, safety and efficiency, advantages of the EthosX include its large sample size of up to 10 grams and the fat obtained can also be used for fatty acid analysis by GC or GCMS.
The Milestone EthosX is controlled via a full-colour, user-friendly touchscreen interface with full data storage. More information online:

Affordable GC for Brewing QC Announced
Ellutia Chromatography solutions can now offer a range of Beer and Brewing testing packages. The lower entry price makes GC Analysis affordable for more laboratories without sacrificing analytical performance. Based around the compact and versatile 200 series Gas Chromatograph Ellutia can offer systems for applications such as alcohol profiling, Diacetyl and other VDK’s, DMS in Malt, Nitrosamines in Beer and Malt. Systems can be configured for manual injection or a range of autosampler options can be added.
The 200 Series Gas Chromatograph from Ellutia is a compact high-performance GC at an affordable price making gas chromatography accessible to every lab. Originally Designed for use in education, the 200 Series GC is simple to operate with rugged construction making it the ideal first GC for Scientists looking to start Gas Chromatography. The Analytical performance however matches much larger costlier instruments from other manufacturers meaning it is just at home in a commercial lab as it is in the classroom.
