Meeting the challenge of lower detection limits in the agrofood industry
28 Mar 2021
Legislation and regulation in the quality control of food and food contact materials are challenging the capabilities of current technology as detection limits are continuously lowered and new chemicals to detect are introduced. In this interview, Favio García, Senior engineer at Aiju Technological Institute of Children’s product and leisure, discusses their work in the consumer goods industry analyzing NIAS in food contact materials using mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography. Garcia explains how the InfinityLab LC/MSD iQ by Agilent Technologies has allowed detection of lower concentrations of chemicals of interest as legislation continuously lowers detection limits.
