Analyzing Trace and Major Elements in Food Samples

Agilent Webinar Series for Food Testing Workflows: Part 6

To ensure food safety and safeguard human health, the characterization of the elemental composition of a wide range of food types is required. Since the concentration ranges for different elements vary significantly across different foods, various methodes can be used for sample characterization.

In this talk different approaches of plasma techniques (MP-AES, ICP-OES and -MS) to determine elemental content in food samples will be discussed.
