As part of its commitment to providing the tools that public health laboratories, food companies and water authorities need to protect consumers, Applied Biosystems and its joint venture partner MDS Analytical Technologies have expanded the capabilities of Analyst Software to improve the identification of contaminants in food and water. This mass spectrometry-based solution is capable of identifying more than 600 contaminants in a single analysis, more than doubling the amount that can be detected by alternative testing solutions. Among the laboratories using the newly expanded contaminant testing application is Eurofins. By detecting a broader range of contaminants with the new application, Eurofins is obtaining more precise information that improves the quantitative accuracy of contaminant testing results.
