CDS Software—Built for Food & Beverage

Overview

Comprehensive testing and traceability is essential for food and beverage manufacturers to compete in todays market. Food safety legislation and regulations are continually updated, such as SANTE guidelines, ISO 22000:2018, ISO 17025 and HACCP, resulting in food and beverage testing laboratories having to perform precise, real-time product testing at all stages of production, processing and distribution to ensure consumer safety and compliance with this growing legislation.

Having data readily available about a contaminated or imperfect food product can be the difference between batch destruction or a total product recall. These decisions can have an enormous impact on your companies financial performance, and more importantly, your ability to preserve and protect your most valuable asset, your brand.

Thermo Scientific Chromeleon 7.3.2 Chromatography Data System (CDS) can help boost confidence and productivity in your food and beverage analyses. Meet evolving data integrity and regulatory requirements, and deliver ease of use, comprehensive instrument control and simplify your laboratory workflows.

What are users saying?

Dioxin and PCB analysis: Advanced internal standard techniques

The complicated matrices found in many environmental, food, and other testing areas give rise to the need for advanced use of internal standards. Dioxins and PCB analysis uses isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) with surrogate standards and associated syringe standards with variable amount values.

As an integral part of the Thermo Scientific Dioxin Analyzer workflow, Chromeleon CDS provides built-in capabilities which include extensive sample reporting templates with 13C-labelled standards recovery, ion ratios, sum parameters, and LOQ flagging, allowing the CDS to automatically perform the calculations.
