Scientific Research & Posters

This paper discusses the theory behind supercritical fluids, key method information, and the benefits to testing fat soluble vitamins in supplements as well as mycotoxins in food products by this unique and green chemistry methodology.

This poster—originally presented at IFT’s annual 2019 meeting—seeks to determine the robustness of LAMP pathogen assays by testing wide variations in temperature, incubation time, and other conditions, to facilitate efficient laboratory operation in “real world” conditions.

A large dairy product manufacturer expressed interest in an alternate PCR method for the detection of Genus Listeria in their environmental and product testing program due to recurring false-positive detections and high levels of environmental Genus Listeria positives in the recent past. Our objective was to compare the performance of two PCR based methods for Genus Listeria detection.

This scientific poster demonstrates how flow cytometry can be used to accurately and precisely enumerate B. coagulans and B. subtilis in a gummy matrix.

The Hemp Industry often needs support for testing the safety and quality of their products from seeds to finished products. Read this white paper to learn more about how developers can make use of hemp-specific analytical tests, including potency,to ensure their products are safe and deliver the highest quality, key factors to establishing and maintaining a role in today’s competitive cannabinoids marketplace.

Our objective was to compare the efficacy of commercially available pathogen screening platforms for detecting Salmonella in probiotic cultures to permit evidence-based platform selection.

This poster explores the use of flow cytometry in GFP-tagged Salmonella strains as positive controls for rapid qualitative Salmonella detection testing.

This poster demonstrates how DNA sequencing can be an important tool in quality control, presumptive confirmations, and environmental monitoring.

Steam volatile oil is an important property of spices. The volatile components present in spices contribute to the aroma and flavor of the spice. This paper describes a fast, accurate, and simple technique for analysis of spices using Fourier Transform Near Infrared (FT-NIR) technology.

Researchers from Eurofins Microbiology and Third Wave Bioactives collaborated to compare the microbial succession of refrigerated chicken noodle soup. The purpose of better understanding how various culture ingredients not only prevent microbial spoilage populations, but also dive deeper into how microbial populations evolve over time.
