Safety and Quality
Accurate results by choosing the appropriate sample preparation techniques.
Foodstuff Analysis - Safety
Regular checks and analyses guarantee the quality and the safety of the food we consume daily. There are clear statutory requirements for substances harmful to health and the highest quantities of them that may be present in foodstuffs. In foodstuff analysis we do our utmost to find evidence of any potentially harmful substances in food.
As food is perishable in many cases, the analysis has to be quick and reliable. GERSTEL offers a range of automated solutions for the field of foodstuff analysis. Applications based on GERSTEL technology are being constantly developed and optimized in cooperation with recognized and accredited institutes and scientific establishments with many years of experience in the field of foodstuff analysis.
Guaranteeing food safety is an important part of foodstuff analysis. On the way from manufacturing to the end consumer – via processing (pesticides, antibiotics), preparation (process contamination), packaging (contamination from packing materials) and storage (mycotoxins) –there is always a risk that food can become contaminated. Environmental influences as well as natural processes (mycotoxins) and pollution can all contribute to this.
Foodstuff Analysis - Quality
Continuous monitoring of foodstuff quality keeps consumers safe. Manufacturers needs to analyze food efficiently and quickly to fulfill statutory requirements.
Quality assurance covers a range of activities that have the aim of ensuring product quality by recognizing faults in the manufactured product and eliminating the causes of them. The strict regulations and directives in the foodstuffs industry mean there is a high demand for quality control and the analytical monitoring of raw materials and products. Analytical monitoring is often performed using laboratory analysis that is both time-consuming and expensive.
The focus here is on choosing suitable sample preparation. The technical options provided by GERSTEL for automating and standardizing various work techniques mean that errors and inaccuracies can be largely avoiding during sample preparation.
