Oct. 16 Analyzing Process Contaminants | CHRONECT Academy

Meeting on analyzing contaminants in foodstuff

The 2025 CHRONECT™ Academy: User Meeting brought together scientists, analysts, and automation experts from across the world to explore the future of process contaminant analysis in foodstuff.

Hosted after Euro Fed Lipid in Leipzig, this one-day hybrid event offered a deep dive into how laboratories are optimizing sample preparation, increasing analytical reliability, and improving efficiency through automation with CHRONECT™. Workstations

Here are some key learnings and takeaways you will gain from this experience.

MCPD & Glycidyl Esters (GE)	MOSH/MOAH	PAH
Interferences: Species such as MBPDE and MIPDE can interfere with the determination of GE when official indirect methods are applied. Matrix specificity: To analyze 2-/3-MCPD(E)/GE in food emulsifiers, specific methods must be used to correctly measure GE.	Capability & harmonization: Optimized sample treatment and evaluation and end-to-end automation boost throughput and consistency while aligning with international standards. Advanced chromatography: GC×GC complements LC-GC-FID for complex matrices, providing structural insight and reliable quantification for these matrices.	Throughput at low LOQs: Automated workflows can handle diverse matrices while achieving low detection limits for the 16 PAHs that should be monitored by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). Operational reality: Automated systems are not plug-and-play; effective use requires advanced expertise and disciplined QC.

Experience the event on your own schedule! Take this opportunity to learn directly from experts and see how CHRONECT™ automation can transform your laboratory’s approach to food contaminant analysis.
