Reproducible Sample Preparation for Food Analysis 10:00 am-11:00 am EDT

During this session, a variety of food samples will be discussed and processed in the Applications Lab to demonstrate the equipment options available from Retsch for preparing representative samples for analysis. Samples to be demonstrated will be pepper/spices, coffee, cereal bars, rice, and many other sample matrices. For all samples, the focus will be on best practices for preparing the food samples for subsequent analysis, such as Mycotoxin Testing, Heavy Metal Testing, NIR, and other techniques, which will also include a discussion of the considerations for each sample type and analysis.

Presented by:

Kyle James Business Unit Manager for the Retsch product line at Verder Scientific Inc, with extensive experience in sample preparation & particle size reduction for 14 years

Carbolite Gero Ashing Demonstration for Food and Feed 11:00 am-11:30 am EDT

During this session we will perform a live demonstration of the Carbolite Gero ashing furnace. This exciting test procedure uses heat in an oxidizing atmosphere to burn off organic components, preparing the sample for inorganic analysis

Presented by:

Michael Hager, Business Unit Manager voor onze Carbolite Gero producten bij Verder Scientific Inc.
is afgestudeerd aan de Rutgers University met een Bachelordiploma in Material Science & Engineering en heeft uitgebreide kennis over hittebehandeling in laboratorium-opstellingen.

Loss-On-Ignition for Moisture and Ash Content in Agricultural Products 1:00 pm – 1:30 pm EDT

Het vochtgehalte van voedingsmiddelen zoals zuivel- en tuinbouwproducten is belangrijk omdat vocht de versheid en bewaarstabiliteit van voedsel beïnvloedt. Het vochtgehalte in rauw voedsel beïnvloedt de fysische en chemische eigenschappen van voedsel tijdens verwerking en consumptie. De kwaliteit van melk en meel wordt bijvoorbeeld bepaald op basis van houdbaarheid, economische waarde en juridische redenen, voordat ze worden verwerkt tot kaas en brood. Het vocht- en asgehalte van dergelijke materialen kan worden gemeten met de Eltra Thermostep ML macro-TGA, die het mogelijk maakt om via thermogravimetrie stapsgewijs te programmeren voor loss-on-ignition (LOI)-metingen voor maximaal 19 monsters tegelijk.

Presented by:

Andrew Lin, Application Specialist for our Eltra Product line at Verder Scientific Inc
Andrew is a graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University with a PhD in physical chemistry. He is chemist with a passion for combustion, pyrolysis, and catalysis. His detail-oriented problem-solving career path has led him to ELTRA as an elemental analyzer applications specialist.

Improving Your Analytics for Beverage Analysis with ICP-OES 1:30 pm – 2:00 pm EDT

This presentation will focus on Elemental Analysis within the food and beverage industry for doing process control, QC and research & development studies. The focus will be on the innovations to ICP-OES (inductively coupled Plasma – optical emission spectroscopy) technology and how recent advances by SPECTRO can match or exceed the use of more difficult and expensive ICP-MS analysis.

Presented by:

Dion A. Tsourides, Applications Director, SPECTRO Analytical Instruments.
With more than 25 years of experience in optical emission spectroscopy, Dion began his career with SPECTRO in 1988 as an ICP-OES system specialist. In 1992, as ICP Product manager, Dion helped to introduce the world’s first halogen-capable ICP OES. In 1999 as global business unit manager, Dion’s team launched the world’s first Rowland Circle, linear-based CCD ICP-OES system. His extensive applications and theoretical experience with ICP-OES includes multiple publications on halogens by ICP, volatile organics, ceramic slurries, high precision measurement, and ultra-trace semiconductor materials. 

Particle Size and Shape Analysis from Whole Bean to Fine Powder Foods 2:00 pm – 2:30 pm EDT

Particle characterization of food and feed are critical to the product’s functionality and consumer experience from the farm to the mill to the dinner table. Size and shape distributions or even surface area measurement of foods yield information about quality of the harvest, freshness or lifespan, stability, end use and consumer experience. This segment will discuss whole bean, coarse and fine particle distributions of food products using different sizing instruments and techniques.

Presented by:

Kate Wamsley, Product Manager for Imaging at Microtrac Inc Kate Wamsley holds a BS in Chemistry with ACS certification, and has extensive experience with particle characterization and sample preparation methods. She assists customers with both new sales inquiries and enduser application support.
