The presence and impacts of microplastics are being extensively researched and reviewed, especially in the marine environment. However, the accumulation and ecotoxicity of leaching compounds such as additives in plastic waste are scarcely studied.
This webinar explores how leachates from microplastics and other plastic materials accumulate within edible and non-edible root vegetables and how they are then incorporated into the food chain.
Our expert speaker will discuss the results of their research into the levels of leachates in root vegetables, illustrating how plastic-associated compounds were quantified using a novel static headspace and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SHS-GC-MS) workflow.

High concentrations of human lactoferrin (hLF) in human milk offer health benefits for infants and adults, including nourishment and growth support.
Recombinant hLF (rhLF) has been expressed in yeast at an industrial scale, with the aim of making it affordable and accessible as a supplement.
This webinar takes a deep dive into how rhLF can be characterized and analyzed to ensure its safety for consumption in clinical studies.
Our expert speaker will cover how various analytical techniques – including microfluidic modulation spectroscopy – can confirm identity, assess purity and impurities, measure size and investigate the structure of rhLF, as well as compare it to native hLF.

In this series of webinars, world-renowned experts highlight software, methods and approaches to improve PFAS testing in food and drinking water.

In this webinar, our expert speaker will introduce a novel workflow based on trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS) for automated PFAS screening and identification against comprehensive suspect lists of almost 5,000 entries from the Norman network and NIST.

Water is essential for life and for the successful operation of most of today’s commercial buildings. For most of us though our greatest regular interaction with it is to just turn on a tap. If water is not managed properly, however, it can have a significant and profound effect on the health of the people occupying those buildings too.

This webinar shows how the latest UV-Vis spectrophotometers can enhance productivity by measuring standards and samples simultaneously to increase confidence in your results.
