As the cover story for our December/January 2009 issue reported, one of the key changes in the lab is the emergence of tools that are more efficient, reliable, and automated, said Purnendu Vasavada, PhD, an extension food safety and microbiology specialist with the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. The lab will also be smaller.</p> 2011-02-24T18:55:00Z http://www.foodquality.com/details/article/972739/Product_Spotlight.html <p>Aquacounter AQL-2320; Orbisphere 3100; Three-Dimensional Enclosures; SFC Downflow Cartridge Dust Collector; Double Stacked Pneumatic Scissor Lift with Riser; Continuous Motion Uncaser; Quality Improvement Software; High-Yield Meat Saw; Trio of Insecticides; PowerMod HVPM Series Solid-State Modulator; Six Food Formers; SC200 Universal Controller; Vertical Storing Leveler; Versatile Multipacker;</p> 2010-12-30T17:28:00Z http://www.foodquality.com/details/article/842355/Product_Spotlight.html <p>High Performance Metal-Detection System; SW Super Washdown Scales; Stainless Steel Mat Top Conveyor; PCR High Throughout Protocols;&nbsp;Hydraulic Patty Former; PetroOXY Rapid Oxidation Stability Tester; New FT-NIR Spectrometer; Lab-Elite Certified Reference Material; X4 800XL X-ray System; MaxiPlus Rotary Brushes, Pad Drivers and Hardware; Vertical Storing Leveler</p> 2010-09-10T00:27:00Z http://www.foodquality.com/details/article/810051/Product_Spotlight.html <p>Wide-Mouth Polyethylene Terephthalate Containers; PetroOxy Oxidation Stability Tester; Flexible Freezer; Four-Hole Patty Former; Multipaq21 Data Logger; Flumequine Analysis for Food; Advanced Nanofiber Filter Cartridges; Optiquad Inline Protein Analysis Unit; CM9400 Canweigh Checkweigher; Saniflo Drum Unloader System; Twenty-Five Watt Fluorescent Lamps</p> 2010-08-16T00:27:00Z http://www.foodquality.com/details/article/809825/Product_Spotlight.html <p>Sliding Softwalls; UV Lamp Detects Impurities; Sanitary Checkweigher Scales; New IQF Film; Bi-Level Grout &amp; Corner Brush; Tray Indexing Conveyor Added to Product Line; Double Blade Ultra Hygiene Squeegees; New Impact Doors</p> 2010-08-15T15:03:00Z http://www.foodquality.com/details/article/807347/Product_Spotlight.html <p>High Level Chloride Analyzer; Package Analyzer Saves Beverage Operators Time; High Quality Polymeric Membrane Filters; Industrial Vacuum Accessories; RFID Monitoring System for Hand-Washing; New Tank Cleaner; Weighing and Contaminant Detection in One Compact System; Cell Extraction Lab Unit</p> 2010-06-01T03:07:00Z http://www.foodquality.com/details/article/878149/Rapid_Analysis_of_Softdrinks.html <p>Soft drinks are widely consumed throughout the world. Maintaining and confirming the quality and consistency of a given product from many individual bottling plants is a considerable challenge for central quality control laboratories. The complexity and variety of these samples compound the challenge further. Numbers of samples analyzed each year can reach into the tens of thousands making analysis time important. For example, 10,000 samples analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) at a run time of 16 minutes would require approximately 333, 8-hour working days to complete.</p> 2005-06-01T23:38:00Z
