Ensuring Food Safety through Innovations in Higher Throughput, Higher Accuracy, and Higher Sensitivity LC/MS
Pesticides in your food? PFAS in your food? Nobody wants either of these things in their dinner, and regulations are only going to get tighter (have you ever heard the FDA get less stringent?).
Many of you are already employing methods to detect these unwanted compounds, but how interested would you be to learn your methods can get faster, more accurate, and more sensitive?
Register today and save your seat to hear about Bruker’s innovations in this area and be ready for the future today!

Presenter: Ben Yong
Date: Tuesday August 27
Time: 1:30-2:00pm
Location: Essex Meeting Room, Baltimore Marriott Waterfront
Join us at our booth for the Bruker Tech Talks!
Monday, August 26
Talk #1: Where is your Olive Oil really from? - NMR Analysis of Foods
Join us for an engaging discussion on the remarkable capabilities of Bruker´s NMR instruments.
During this talk, we’ll explore how these cutting-edge tools can authenticate both the quality and country of origin for a variety of foods:
- Olive Oil
- Honey
- Juice
- Wine
Additionally, discover the smaller database functionality options that allow users to create personalized databases for testing mixtures.
Speaker: Brendan Lichtenthal
Location: Bruker booth 500 & 502
Time: 10:00 am -10:15 am, August 26
Talk #2: Confirmation of Salmonella and Listeria with MALDI Biotyper® sirius System and root cause analysis with IR Biotyper®
Two main bacteria, Salmonella and Listeria, can pose significant risks in food production, including frozen products like ice cream, if not handled properly.
While cold products like ice cream are often considered safe due to low temperatures normally inhibiting bacterial growth, this assumption can be risky. Listeria can survive freezing and even multiply in refrigerated environments. Let's have a look at new rapid detection methods like the MALDI Biotyper® sirius and IR Biotyper®.
Speaker: Olaf Degen
Location: Bruker booth 500 & 502
Time: 10:15-10:30 am, August 26

Talk #3: But How Do You Know? - Analysis of Oils, Fats and Moisture in Foods by Benchtop MR
Join us for exploring the capabilities of the minispec instrument in food analysis. During this talk, we’ll delve into three essential areas:
- Total Fat and/or Moisture Analysis: Explore how the minispec provides accurate and rapid measurements of total fat content in various food products.
- Solid Fat Content (SFC) Analysis: Discover how the SFC analyzer ensures reliable and traceable operation, yielding dependable SFC values.
- Droplet Size Analysis: Learn about the newly improved droplet size analysis and multimodal droplets analysis, which provides insights into emulsion stability, controlled release, and rheological properties.
