Automated Vacuum In-Tube Extraction (V-ITEX): Improving VOC and SVOC Analysis in Complex Food, Flavor, and Biological Matrices
The Challenge of Comprehensive VOC Profiling VOC determination is performed widely for food, beverage, flavor, fragrance, and metabolomics applications in analytical chemistry. For complex matrices such as cheese, chocolate, or biological fluids, comprehensive VOC profiling can be difficult to achieve. These matrices contain a wide range of compounds, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and semi-volatile […]
Automating the Determination of 3-MCPD, 2-MCPD, and Glycidol Esters in Edible Oils with the GERSTEL MPS
Introduction As shown in previous blogs (MOSH/MOAH), the GERSTEL MPS smart series robotic sampler enables the automated separation and determination of MOSH and MOAH, food safety contaminants found in edible oils (AppNote 228, AppBriefs 19 and 20). This blog will discuss how the same robotic sampler can also be used to automate the extraction and […]
