Food & Beverage | Thermo Fisher Scientific

The important job of characterizing food properties in today’s modern laboratory—from pesticide residues analysis, mycotoxin analysis, and persistent organic pollutants (POPs) to food labeling—helps ensure high-quality and safe food products and consumer confidence. However, scientists ensuring our food safety and quality face an increasing number of analytical testing challenges as new and stricter regulations are enforced.

GC column recommendations for food analysis.

TG-1701MS is a mid-polarity phase column, ideal for oxygenates, organochlorine pesticides and organochlorine pesticides. It is used on GC and GCMS.
TG-WAXMS is a polar phase, low bleed and long lifetime column, ideal for solvents, flavour and essential oils. It is used on GC and GCMS.
TG-VMS allows fast analysis of VOC in water and food.
