SureFast® ONE qPCR Kits for reliable detection of food pathogens – Now AOAC / MicroVAL Certified!

Salmonella, Listeria, and Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) are responsible for thousands of food outbreaks globally each year, leading to severe health consequences, product recalls, and significant economic losses. Rapid and accurate detection of these pathogens is crucial for maintaining food safety, preventing outbreaks, and ensuring regulatory compliance. SureFast® ONE qPCR kits are designed to provide reliable, fast, and precise detection of these pathogens, helping protect public health and safeguarding your business.

MS Hub

Multi-toxin analysis with LC-MS/MS detection offers many advantages. LC-MS/MS allows for the simultaneous detection of multiple mycotoxins in a single run, making it highly efficient compared to traditional methods that often target individual mycotoxins. The ability to streamline processes, reduce resource consumption, and improve data quality makes it an attractive option across various industries.

Integrated gluten mgmt.

Producing gluten-free foods involves several critical steps to ensure a safe product for consumers with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Compliance with gluten-free labeling legislations or certifications is essential. From raw materials and ingredients to transport, production, storage and the final product, the challenge is to produce a healthy, nutritional product that meets consumers’ expectations and prevents gluten contamination at every step of the production chain.

High risk for mycotoxins this year?

This year’s wheat harvest has been challenging in many European countries due to excessive rain in late spring and early summer. DON and other trichothecenes contaminated crops in Germany, Switzerland, and France. On top of that mycotoxin regulations changed in Europe.
Yet, we got you covered with our most recent developments in mycotoxin detection and mycotoxin management!

RIDASCREEN DNSH

Shrimps showing antibiotic contamination is not a new problem and still relevant! Recently, the nitrofuran antibiotic Nifursol and its metabolite DNSH have been prohibited.

L’application RIDA®SMART Allergène – Une traçabilité complète de vos analyses bandelettes.

Les nouvelles bandelettes allergènes, sont des tests immunochromatographiques faciles à utiliser pour la détection qualitative des résidus d’allergènes. Elles sont spécifiques et polyvalentes, et peuvent par exemple être utilisées pour vérifier l’efficacité d’un nettoyage sur les lignes de production et vérifier la présence d’allergies dans les eaux de rinçage ou encore les matières premières.

Plant-Based Food Analysis

Plant-based food consists mostly or entirely of ingredients derived from plants. This includes grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds. Plant-based diets have gained popularity in recent years due to their environmental sustainability. Additionally, plant-based diets can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and land use compared to animal-based diets. Many people choose plant-based food to follow a plant-based diet for ethical reasons as well, as it avoids the use of animal products. There are many plant-based foods available, ranging from burgers, chicken nuggets and sausages to several milk alternatives based on almond, oat or soy.

Gestion du risque allergènes.

The Lateral Flow tests (LFDs) incl. Hook Line from Bioavid are immunochromatographic tests for the qualitative detection of residues in environmental samples (e.g. in food production lines), CIP-water and food samples. R-Biopharm offers the new LFDs with included hook line for the five parameters almond, coconut, hazelnut, mustard and peanut – more parameters are in development!
