Agilent's Virtual Food Summit - Increase your food laboratory workflows
Agilent Technologies: Agilent's Virtual Food Summit - Increase your food laboratory workflows
To meet the challenge of ensuring food quality and authenticity to protect both the consumer and your brand, you must stay up to date on the industry’s best practices. Today, the demands for more productive analytical solutions is ever-increasing as many food and agriculture labs are operating at capacity. Agilent offers instruments, supplies, and services that are used throughout the food production chain, including incoming inspection, new product development, contaminant identification, quality control and assurance, and packaging. Join us and listen in as our team of food experts and scientists share their work on these challenging food analyses and the approaches to achieve the most robust & reliable results. This virtual food summit is important to analysts, technicians and managers of food analysis laboratories, those working on method development, and researchers and scientists working on food authenticity and food fraud.
Agenda - Attend any or all sessions - 17:00 - 20:00 CEST Praha
17:00 - 17:05 Welcome and Introduction
Presenter: Tarun Anumol, Agilent, Director of Global Food & Environmental Markets
17:05 - 17:30 Matrix Removal Strategies for Complex Food Samples
Matrix removal techniques, including QuEChERS, will be explained and compared. Alternative and complementary tools will be introduced and a systematic method development scheme discussed. This session is very beneficial to method developers faced with diverse complex matrices.
Presenter: Tina Chambers, Agilent, Sample Prep Technical Specialist
17:30 - 17:55 Improved LC-MS/MS Pesticide Multi-Residue Analysis using Triggered MRM & On-Line Dilution
This webinar will present a highly optimized method for analyzing 450 pesticides in food samples using UHPLC combined with an ultra-sensitive triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. Highlights of the method will be described including on-line dilution for sharp peak shape of polar pesticides, compound optimization, and the use of triggered MRM for the highest identification confidence.
Presenter: Jerry Zweigenbaum, Agilent, LC/MS Field Application Enginee
17:55 - 18:20 Multi-Class, Multi-Residue Veterinary Drug Analysis in Infant Formula and Meat Products Using UHPLC-MS/MS
A multi-class, multi-residue method based on UHPLC-MS/MS was developed for the analysis of around 150 compounds belonging to a variety of veterinary drug classes. This webinar will demonstrate how the method development and optimization were divided into five main phases. A rapid, sensitive screening method with Agilent UHPLC-QTOF using All Ions MS/MS workflow will also be demonstrated for veterinary drugs in meat products.
Presenter: Hui Zhao, Agilent, LC/MS Application Scientis
18:20 - 18:45 Cutting the Fat: Strategies for Streamlining FAMEs Analysis
Fatty acid methyl ester analysis is challenging. With a myriad of analytes, rigid resolution requirements, and a staggering selection of capillary columns from which to choose, it can be overwhelming to implement improvements to existing FAMEs methods. This webinar will discuss new strategies for streamlining FAMEs analysis using new capillary columns, switching to hydrogen carrier gas, and existing instrument capabilities.
Presenter: Rachael Ciotti, Agilent, GC/MS Field Application Enginee
18:45 - 19:10 A Multi-Platform Screening Approach for Pesticides and Food Contaminants, Featuring GC/MSD, GC/TQ, and GC/Q-TOF
The increasing concern around trace-level food and environmental pollutants is driving the demand for rapid and reliable methods for the identification of chemical residues This presentation will discuss the application of three different GC/MS platforms for pesticide analysis in strawberries. The benefits of each approach will be discussed in achieving high quality screening with confident quantitative capability.
Presenter: Anastasia Andrianova, Agilent, GC/MS Application Scientist and Sofia Nieto, Agilent, GC/MS Application Scientis
19:10 - 19:35 Routine food classification and authenticity workflows for high-resolution MS
Food fraud is increasingly common and includes activities such as misbranding, mislabeling, dilution, counterfeiting and adulteration. This presentation will describe a comprehensive approach that can be used for routine detection of food adulteration using classification model, built from “pure” (unadulterated) samples. The workflow can utilize either a high-resolution GC/MS or LC/MS, providing a flexibility of choice depending on sample matrix and/or instrument availability. We will discuss how to build a robust classification model in Mass Profiler Professional and how to deploy it for routine testing using Classifier software. Results from spices, fruit, and tea will be shared.
