Sample digestion in the food industry is an important step in elemental analysis for the purpose of quality, nutritional composition, and safety of foods. Factors such as an increased focus on consumer health, evolving industrial practices and changing international regulations mean that food companies, government and regulators must all be equipped to perform elemental analysis in a fast and efficient manner.
ColdBlock Technologies Inc. offers a highly effective and efficient sample digestion technology that delivers accurate results in a fraction of the time required for traditional alternatives.
The ColdBlock R&D laboratory recently conducted digestions on three food products – meat, dairy and infant formula – to demonstrate the efficiency and precision of the ColdBlock approach.
Results were published in application notes that demonstrate the precision of results using ColdBlock digestion.
Findings include:
- Accuracy – Elemental recoveries for all sample types accurately match industry CRMs.
- Speed – Digestions using ColdBlock are completed in 20 minutes.
- Efficiency – Fewer steps are required in comparison to traditional methods.
- Safety – Risk of injury associated with traditional digestion technology is eliminated.
- Savings – All of these benefits translate into meaningful cost savings for labs/companies.
ColdBlock is being used in labs across several industries, saving time and money by increasing sample throughput capacity and significantly reducing turnaround times, while providing accurate and reliable results.
