The ability of this system to perform structural confirmation and library matching enables it to confirm and quantitate hundreds of compounds in a single experiment, dramatically increasing sample throughput and cutting cost per sample. “TraceFinder software provides food and environmental laboratories with the tools to react quickly to the need to detect new contaminants in the food supply,” said Dipankar Ghosh, strategic marketing manager for environmental and food safety solutions at Thermo Fisher Scientific. “The built-in methods database reduces method development time from hours or days to minutes by providing optimised conditions for analytes.”
Thermo Fisher Scientific has also introduced an easy and rapid automated method to analyse asparagine, a major amino acid commonly found in food. www.thermofisher.com
