Most people may be unfamiliar with mycotoxins, but if you have ever tossed out moldy food, you may have reduced your risk of mycotoxin exposure. This is because mycotoxins are toxic compounds naturall...
Acrylamide extraction and analysis can be difficult. The primary challenge is balancing efficient extraction from a complex matrix with effective removal of background interferences before analysis, w...
If you’re responsible for testing acrylamide in food samples, you already know the obstacles that come with analyzing this compound. Analysis can be difficult in general if there are background interf...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a highly persistent group of synthetic chemicals that can be toxic to humans through bioaccumulation, gradual build up over time. In fact, toxicological ...
If you have experience testing food processing biproducts such as acrylamide, then you already know all the challenges that come with the territory. Acrylamide, a probable carcinogen formed during hig...
Pesticide residues in food, even at low levels, pose significant health risks and have been linked to chronic illnesses and developmental issues. To protect consumers, regulatory authorities closely m...
In the world of science, there are always new topics and compounds that are discovered, but not all of them get much publicity. One of these is acrylamide. Now you’re probably saying to yourself, “wha...
You may have already read the previous blogs about QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, Safe) extraction and cleanup, but, if you have quite a few different matrix interferences or analyte...
Who knew there were so many different parts to a QuEChERS approach! The nice thing about QuEChERS is even though there are a few different steps to capture your target analytes, they are all Quick, Ea...
You might be saying to yourself, QuEChERS isn’t an extraction, it’s just QuEChERS! I know when I think extraction, I think of your traditional liquid-liquid or solid-phase extraction where you have a ...
