Event Overview:

The traceability of origin in consumer products such as food is of increasing importance for quality control laboratories in different industrial segments. High-quality products with a specific quality label that refers to a dedicated region of origin or a specialized manufacturing procedure might receive greater appreciation from customers, often reflected in a significantly higher price than similar products. Also, the appearance of diseases linked to a foodstuff originating from a particular region makes it necessary to control the origin to ensure consumer safety and authenticity.

Chemical analysis, especially the determination of isotopic ratios, plays a crucial role in this type of forensic work. We can apply different techniques to various foodstuffs to develop methods that will permit their geographical origins to be determined with varying degrees of certainty. Measuring elemental concentrations and isotopic variation in premium regional products is the best analytical strategy for verifying geographical origin.

Join this webcast to hear about the latest trends in tracking product authenticity and learn how to overcome challenges in isotopic ratio analysis with quadrupole ICP-MS.
