Stop by an Exhibitor Presentation and learn more about the following companies' products and services. Monday, September 14 Hitachi High Technologies America, Inc. 10:30 am – 11:00 am Hitachi High Technologies America will present three turn-key solutions for Carbamate, Glyphosate, and Amino Acid analysis based on the new Sensivate Elite Post-Column Reactor (PCR) platform. Each application-specific solution is comprised of three components: A tailor-made HPLC system configured specifically for the application at hand, a validated method for performing the analysis, and a consumables kit that will provide all the materials required to perform the analysis. The analyses for both Carbamates and Glyphosates are in compliance with EPA standard guidelines. In combination, these three components will provide out-of-the-box results that are rapid, accurate, precise, and reproducible.

This seminar will provide information on the workflow for detecting pathogens in food samples using both manual and automated sample preparation methods, real-time PCR using TaqMan® assays, and software that provides a procedure guide and presence/absence calls. For more information contact: An overview of two Sample Preparation Technologies available for efficient cell disruption of foods, plants, and animal tissue for the isolation of pesticide residues (QuEChERS), nucleic acids, enzymes and yeasts; and cryogenic grinding of volatile and hard-to-grind samples to a homogenous fine powder. For more information contact: Jana Hasjlova, Institute of Chemical Technology, Prague, Czech Republic So many contaminants… so little time. A wide range of analytical tools exist for the food safety scientist, but the challenge is finding one that can efficiently screen and accurately reveal adulteration. With OrbitrapTM technology, the compact Exactive mass spectrometer delivers exceptional mass accuracy covering a wide dynamic range with unmatched resolution. Food is perishable and time is money, so join us for a presentation to learn how to increase your confidence and efficiency through accurate screening and identification of hidden chemical threats in food. For more information contact: Dr. Andre Schreiber, Food and Environmental Technical Marketing Manager, Applied Biosystems The following workshop will give an overview of the new Applied Biosystems / MDS Analytical Technologies AB Sciex QTRAP® 5500 LC/MS/MS system and go on to discuss how the use of this instrument with its unique workflows, when coupled to fast chromatography and the new Cliquid® MPXTM -2 High Throughput System, can be used to multiplex analysis to accelerate throughput. For more information contact: Dr. Andre Schreiber, Food and Environmental Technical Marketing Manager, Applied Biosystems The following workshop will outline the use of Cliquid® Software and iMethodTM Tests for routine analysis and go on to provide specific examples of the use of this approach for pesticide, antibiotic and mycotoxin screening and analysis. For more information contact: Sample preparation is the largest bottle neck of analytical determinations in terms of time and can be expensive due to the high cost of organic solvents. Automation can provide much improved productivity, improved analytical performance and decreased costs. This presentation will discuss the automation solutions available for the preparation of solid samples using accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) and for the preparation of aqueous samples using automated solid phase extraction (SPE) with AutoTrace. We will consider many analytes and matrices and compare the results using automation to those obtained using manual methods. Improvements in productivity will be examined. For more information contact: Multi-residue analysis using LC/MS/MS triple quadrupole instrumentation requires efficient use of duty cycle and dwell time to maximize the number of transitions that can be analyzed while maintaining sufficient number of data points for quantitative analysis. This portion of the presentation will describe Dynamic MRM and how it is used to analyze the maximum number of compounds possible by LC/QQQ. In addition, tools to help dynamic MRM method development will be described. A new GC/MS/MS system includes a versatile multimode inlet and gold plated quartz quadrupoles that can be heated up to 200ºC to minimize contamination from high boiling matrices. The linear hexapole collision cell uses nitrogen for precursor ion dissociation and helium quenching to reduce neutral noise. Column backflushing maintains chromatographic performance and source cleanliness to provide high quality data. Other advances in data processing and supportability will be described. A blind study of pesticides in pork fat and lettuce in the range of 0.1 to 58 ppb will be presented. For more information contact: Agilent Technologies, in collaboration with Campden BRI, has developed a DNA-based methodology to identify fish species in fresh and processed seafood. This presentation will describe the benefits of the system that conveniently combines (1) DNA extraction, (2) Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), (3) Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP), and (4) DNA fragment resolution using the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer lab-on-a-chip electrophoresis technology. The DNA fragments generated by PCR-RFLP are accurately sized by the Bioanalyzer software, providing a unique signature for species determination. An integrated database and pattern-matching software automatically identify the species. The Bioanalyzer instrumentation, protocol, and test components will be demonstrated. For more information contact: SciMed Technologies Inc. will do a live demonstration of VitaKits ATM and DTM. These diagnostic kits accurately measure vitamin A and vitamin D in fluid milk and infant formula proving accurate results within 2 hours. This ELISA technology uses proprietary monoclonal antibodies. VitaKits significantly decrease the time of the vitamin extraction step while using less than 1% of the solvents needed for HPLC. VitaKitsTM come complete with all standards and controls. One technician can analyze unto to 41 samples in duplicate at one time. Once the VitaKit™ is opened it can be stored in the fridge for up to one year. For more information contact: Efficient and Reproducible Sample Clean-up is key to an effective analytical method. GPC Sample prep and Immunoaffinity clean-up are very effective for a wide range of matrices and analytes. We present tools for the clean-up of samples for Aflatoxin and Ochratoxin A for a variety of matrices including grains, coffee, spices and dried distillers grain using our Immunoaffinity clean-up columns, AflaCLEAN and OtaCLEAN. Recoveries and matrix interference are discussed. A single, multi-residue Mycotoxin method for the analysis of Aflatoxin, Ochratoxin, DON, Zeralenone and Fumonisins using the Pinnacle PCX is suitable for Distillers Grain and other alcohol products. Other analysis techniques using the UVE Photochemical derivatization instrument and ELISA test kits each have unique characteristics making them ideal for the determination of mycotoxins. Using the GPC Ultra, a laboratory can efficiently and reproducibly clean up Environmental, food, and beverage samples for the analysis of PCBs, Mycotoxin, PAHs, Phthalates. The GPC Cleanup systems are designed to eliminate carry-over and cross-contamination of samples.
