Acidity/pH

Accurate monitoring of pH is essential during the production of various dairy products to ensure flavour consistency and food safety requirements are achieved. Acidification is an age-old food preservation method and can be achieved through fermentation, the direct addition of acids, or both, during the manufacturing of cheese and yoghurts.

pH Indicator Strips

Introducing a wide range of pH indicator strips for all your routine and specialised rapid pH measurement.

Benchtop Ion Concentration Measurement (ISE)

Ion concentration measurement or ion-specific (ISE) measurements can be performed in every laboratory for various sample types, including water, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and biological samples.

Portable Testers

We offer an extensive range of economically priced testers for portable electrochemistry. Parameters include pH, ORP, conductivity and salinity.

Analytical testing

From food safety analysis and nutritional research to chemical analysis for food quality and integrity, our portfolio of application notes, white papers, videos and on-demand webinars demonstrate how our chromatography and mass spectrometry systems consistently deliver data that is compliant with regulations. Topics include the analysis of dietary supplements, food packaging contaminants, pesticide residues testing, trace metal analysis and veterinary drug residues testing.

Nutritional and Food Label Testing Information

Our portfolio offers options that fit your requirements, from routine monitoring of chemical and elemental compounds to food safety, nutritional research, and food label testing. Our instruments provide sensitivity, robustness and efficiency for all your nutritional and food label testing needs. 

Featured application note: Determination of Chloride in Infant Formula and Adult Nutritionals.

Carbohydrate and Sugar Content Analysis

The determination of the types and concentrations of carbohydrates in foods is integral for energy evaluation, nutritional labelling, quality control, and identifying possible adulteration. We've consolidated application notes on a range of topics, including corn syrup, dietary fibre, lactose and lactulose, maltodextrins, sialic acids and simple carbohydrates.

Trace Elemental and Speciation Analysis:  Heavy Metals, Minerals and Sodium Detection

Some elements are an essential part of a healthy diet, but others, such as lead, mercury, arsenic and cadmium, offer no nutritional benefits to humans and are toxic. Because food is the primary conduit for elements to enter humans, regulators are becoming stricter and requiring manufacturers to monitor levels of hazardous elements in foodstuffs.

Pesticide Residues Analysis

Everything you need to ensure your success in pesticide analysis - that's what we provide you and your laboratory. Start-to-finish workflows to help regulatory, food monitoring and testing laboratories meet today's challenges and tomorrow's future pesticide residue testing requirements.

Featured application note on Large-Scale Screening and Quantitation of Pesticide Residues in Milk using GC-(EI)-MS/MS.

Veterinary Drug Residues Testing Information

Antibiotics are a group of chemicals widely used in animal husbandry to protect animals from disease and as growth promoters. Maximum residue limits for various antibiotics in animal tissues and milk exist workldwide and suitable methods are required to detect these residues at regulated levels.
