Bruker Vendor Seminar

"Paradigm Shifts in Food Analysis: Breakthrough Solutions for Allergies, Authenticity, and Traceability"

Date: Wednesday, November 6th

Time: 13.30-14.45

Moving Towards the Next Generation of Food Allergen Analysis

• Speaker: Jens Brockmeyer, Head of Department Food Chemistry, Institute of Biochemistry and Technical Biochemistry, University of Stuttgart, Germany
• Overview: Discover the AllergenScreener solution, an advanced MS-based technology that detects a wide range of allergens in a single run. This comprehensive workflow integrates meticulous sample preparation, HPLC-mass spectrometry analysis, and sophisticated data analysis software, streamlining laboratory processes and enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of allergen detection.

Chromatography-free Screening and Quantification of Saffron Adulteration with Safflower by DART-TQ

• Speaker: Linda Monaci, Research Director at Institute of Sciences of Food Production - National Research Council of Italy
• Overview: Learn about the innovative DART-TQ technology, a plasma-based ambient ionization technique that allows rapid, automated analysis of saffron purity. This method involves fast sample extraction and the identification of safflower markers, providing a robust tool for adulteration assessment without the need for chromatography.

Simultaneous EI and CI in Single GC Runs for Confident Unknowns Identification in Non-Target Analysis

• Speaker: Eliska Ceznerova, Application Specialist, Tofwerk Ag, Switzerland
• Overview: Explore a novel GC-HRMS technology that simultaneously operates EI and CI sources, generating structural and accurate mass molecular ion information in a single run. This approach improves the confidence in identifying unknown compounds and is applicable in various fields, including environmental contaminants, material emissions, food flavor analysis, and metabolomic research.
