Analytica: What’s on people’s minds?

The latest  methods and techniques on the topic of food analysis will be revealed at this year’s Analytica in Munich, where scientists and researchers will have the chance to discuss the recent uproar over prohibited and hazardous substances in food and offer quick, easy and accurate food analysis solutions as a response.

Exhibition director Katja Stolle commented on the  significance of food analysis at Analytica 2012, commenting in SeperationsNow: "Effective consumer protection is only possible if ingredients can be analyzed quickly and reliably. The fair gives trade visitors a complete overview of the methods and techniques being developed in the sector for food analysis and gives them an opportunity to discuss them directly with the experts."

The event will be a platform for manufacturers to present a number of new systems for chromatography, mass spectrometry, spectroscopy and other analysis techniques that play an important role in food testing. Many developers will present technology made specifically for food testing, such as Retsch’s new cyclone mill that simplifies the preparation of food and feedstuffs using NIR analysis.

There will be several areas of interest at the conference, such as the Live Lab for Food and Water Analysis, Laboratory & Analytics Forum and the Biotech Forum.
