Heart Of A Princess

ood science is integral to ensuring food security and safety, and bringing better health to people around the world. Food innovations across the industry chain, from farming practices all the way to end product packaging, have huge significance on global issues such as food wastage and malnutrition.

With the benefits of food science in mind, Food Science and Technology Association of Thailand (FoSTAT) has been organising the Food Innovation Asia Conference concurrently with ProPak Asia over the years to provide a platform for food scientists, academia, gover n ment representat ives a nd industry professionals to exchange their knowledge and experiences.

This year, the theme of the conference is ‘Innovative ASEAN Food Research Towards the World’, an obvious statement of intent to bring regional research and development onto the global stage.

During the first keynote address, Emeritus Prof Kraisid Tontisirin inspired the audience with his recounting of the contributions made by Thailand’s HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn towards the promotion of nutrition and quality life.

“Over 35 years, HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn has been devoting and working very hard to improve quality of life of disadvantage populations living in remote and poor areas of Thailand,” he shared. “The initiative started in 1980 was initially named ‘Agriculture for school lunch project’ and was aimed at improving nutrition and health as major foundation for education of school children in schools operated by the Border Police Patrol.”

Un d e r t h e p r o j e c t , h o l i s t i c development has been g radua l ly implemented linking agriculture, food

supply and food service through school lunch, nutrition, basic sanitation and hygiene, health, education, occupational activities, environmental and cultural conservation, and scholarships for those who have the capability and willingness to learn so that they can continue their education at college and university levels.

“The outcomes and impacts of this initiative have been quite impressive in the alleviation of malnutrition and health improvement with less illnesses of students and improved food security, meal quality, basic sanitation and hygiene, and educational opportunity,” he added.

This school-based and child-centred initiative has set an example for quality development and provides educational opportunities for the disadvantage population.

Subsequently, the initiative has been extended to the community to cover maternal and child nutrition and health, household and community gardens and income generating activities.

Last year, the initiative covered 825 schools and education centres, with 121,087 students in 54 provinces.

Annually, approximately 1,600 students received scholarships for continued education at higher levels.

Regionally and internationally, the

initiative has been implemented under the collaborative project for quality of life improvement in school children, involving 90 schools in 10 countries: Laos, Myanmar, Cambodia, Vietnam, Mongol ia , Bhuta n, Ba ngladesh, Indonesia, Timor-Leste and the Philippines.

The hard work of Her Royal Highness did not go unnoticed. During the 19th International Congress of Nutrition held in Bangkok in 2009, the International Un ion of Nut r it ion a l S c i e n c e s presented the IUNS Special Award to HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn in recognition of her exceptional cont r ibut ions t h rough nut r it ion improvement to the development of the disadvantaged population.

During the award, the union lauded her efforts with the following citation.

“Above all, Her Royal Highness has advocated for a culturally sensitive approach to nutrition and development.

Where people still adhere to their own religious customs, cultural beliefs and traditional practices, Her Royal Highness is spearheading innovative research and development programmes aimed at merging local wisdom and scientific knowledge to improve food and nutrition practices.

Food Of The Future

S

ome time ago, Londoners were able to eat at the world’s first 3D printed pop-up restaurant.

Wit h big adva ncement in 3D pr int ing technology, particularly for food applications, many wondered if 3D food printing will be the future of global food.

During the second keynote address at the 17th Food Innovation Asia Conference, Prof Richard Archer shared his insights and research findings on 3D food printing.

“Current drivers indicate that 3D printing of food objects will inevitably be part of the modern world’s food culture,” he says. “The future shape of the

it h t he for mat ion of t he A SE A N Economic Community at the end of the year, the revenue in Asia’s healthcare sector is expected to account for one third of the global market in 2015. Asia Pacific countries are expected to see more than 150 percent growth in healthcare expenditure to US$2.93 trillion in 2020. Thailand’s healthcare expenditure is expected to grow by 8.4 percent annually to US$25 billion in 2020.

As a regular feature of ProPak Asia 2015, PharmaTech Seminar 2015 was held yesterday to generate dialogues between professionals in the

industry is not yet clear. We speculate that appliance companies will make printers, food companies will make ‘food inks’ and others will supply algorithms and recipes.”

He added that the available return on investment may climb in the same order. Most current food printers use the techniques of their non-food additive manufacturing cousins—fusion deposition of a thermoplastic material or heat-sintering of a powder.

These approaches are allowing rapid commercialisation. “Our laboratory has attempted the more difficult task of colouring, flavouring and fortifying a neutral, white batter in real time as it is

being deposited before rapid cooking.”

He said the approach offers a future far broader than chocolate, sugar sweets or cookies, but there are still many challenges. His team has successfully applied blending equations and gamut mapping techniques to transform the RGB colour data in a target image file to dye recipes to allow each voxel of a food object to be coloured.

In addition, they have also investigated the determinants of crumb structure in microwavecooked starch and polysaccharide systems and are studying the dynamics of solution structure recovery in batter after shearing and depositing.

However, he warned that many technical problems remain including accurate dosing and mixing in a very simple, cleanable device. “If batter is to be the base, it must be shelf-stable for many months, yet the starch should remain native lest viscosities be too high.”

“The food safety problems present are not trivial and may indicate that use in quick food restaurants with trained operators may well precede home use on kitchen bench,” he elaborates. “This logic further predicts that the major early adopters will be those preparing institutional meals on large scale, exploiting the facility to customise every serving.

He concluded that if in the next 20 years, just one percent of the world’s food is presented by 3D food printing, then the business of supplying ingredients and recipes will be very large.

industry. Amongst the topics discussed during the session was the use of nanotechnology for drug and cosmetic delivery.

For the last 10 years, nanotechnolog y has gained increasing popularity and importance in the pharmaceutical industry as a way to administer drugs to the general populations. Around the world and in Thailand, extensive research has been conducted to look at how the technology can be adapted to a variety of applications to serve medical and consumer industries.

Some of these applications for the pharmaceutical industry include creating better medicines. With nanotechnology, researchers have found that it can increase effectiveness of administered medicines in individuals, reduce allergic reactions, and also reduce the amount of toxins that conventional medicines might contain or induce.

In cosmetic applications, nanotechnology can be used to reduce the size of molecules in the products.

This therefore enables better coverage of cosmetic products in skin care such as foundation and concealers to reduce thickness of makeup, and also allows one to be better protected from UV rays in the case of sunscreen products.

In fact, some cosmetic companies have already been engaging the use of the technology in making their products, such as Christian Dior or L’Oreal.

Nanotechnology makes it possible for cosmetic

products to provide a skin-moisturising feature to the skin on top of coverage.

Using the technology in hair products can also ensure better absorbency of the product into hair roots, especially for conditioners and serums.

D u r i ng her pre sentat ion on ‘ Lip osome s: Nanotechnology for Delivery Systems’, Sureewan Duangjit shared how nanotechnology can be used to create novel drug delivery systems to provide benefits such as avoidance of first pass metabolism, avoidance of variables associated with the GI tract, reduction in systemic side effects, ease of dose termination, convenient and painless administration and improved patient compliance.

According to her, there are already numerous liposomes based anti-cancer therapeutics undergoing clinica l tria ls at the moment. For cosmetics applications, liposomes can help reduce irritation, enhance drug permeation, prolong residue time and reduce systemic toxicity compared to free compound.

“Nowadays, liposomes based drug and cosmetics formulations have been extensively studied and suggested for novel delivery systems,” she concluded.

“Several types of liposomes could overcome the human physiological barrier. In the research and development of pharmaceutical products, the basic knowledge of liposomes’ structure, composition and method for preparation are primary requirements to reduce time wasted and costs.

Making A Comeback

T

he Korea Packaging Machinery Association has made a comeback to ProPak Asia this year after their last participation in 2013, creating a second Korean Pavilion in the show. “ There a re 12 companies here, ha lf being machinery-related and the other half being materialrelated for balance. Though most of them have participated in the show about three or four years ago, they’ve started participating again here this year,” said Soonwoo Hong, general manager of the association.

Regarding the hiatus that some of these Korean companies had taken from previous editions of the show, he clarified: “At that time, the Thai market and Korean companies’ products did not fit well.”

The Korean companies had just started to export their products, and were unsure about how to export to the Southeast Asian region, or did not have sufficiently skilled staff to handle related business matters, he explained.

“The Thai market was also not so big at that time, in terms of machinery or quality,” he added.

The situation for both countries is different today, and the time is now for Korean companies to re-enter the scene. Majority of the companies had an interest in the show before, and now with the help of the association, and additional support from the Korean Trade Promotion Corporation and assistance from the association, it has made their comeback easier, mentioned Mr Hong.

However, even if many Korean companies want in on the profits that come with such collaborations, they have to wait in line. “ We had had a lot of inquiries from other companies about participating in this show when we were preparing for it, but we’ve just brought 12 companies here because of the limitation in government subsidies,” Mr Hong said.

According to him, ProPak Asia has a good reputation among Korean companies, and is “the best exhibition here”. This he explained, is because of the benefits companies have gained through their participation here even from previous years.

“They did not only sell their machines, but a lso met a lot of potentia l Asian distributors and partners here. The show is useful, and an important one,” he added.

With the driving changes to Southeast Asian markets such as Thailand, Myanmar, Indonesia and Singapore, a lot of the Asian business is happening here at the show, he said.

“The Korean companies have therefore started to promote again through the exhibition here, more positively and actively,” he concluded.

hailand’s agriculture and food processing industries have made signif icant prog ress over t he yea rs, a nd perhaps can be made even better with South Korea’s smart and ITrelated machinery. This is what Min Heo, Chief of Exhibition and Convention at Gyeonggi Small and Medium Business Support Centre (GSBC) feels.

His ambition is to eventually combine Korean technology with the Thai agricultural industry, and hopes to have an opportunity to showcase the products to world market, but believes this will be an arduous journey.

That said, ProPak Asia is a starting place to achieve this dream. “ProPak Asia covers a wide range of industrial areas. In order to step into the Asian market, companies must attend this exhibition. That is why we [GSBC] is attending.”

In recent years, the Southeast Asian market has grown by about 11 percent, he quoted. “So we expect more contracts, and hope to find more agents in Thailand or other surrounding countries,” he added.

The association represents 10 companies this year from the Gyeonggi province of South Korea, and feedback from them regarding the show so far has been good.

“They say it’s better than last year,” Mr Heo said.

It is a good place for meeting people from other countries to share information and gain opportunities to work with new partners on projects, he concluded.

Presence Speaks

T

rade shows always provide good business opportunities and a big show like ProPak Asia can offer exactly that, in terms of customers, distributors, partners and agents. This year’s show has generated a good response so far, said Michelle Liao from the exhibition section of World Trade Center, Taichung.

“This time we have 31 companies to join Taiwan’s pavilion. Most of them are looking for distributor companies to sell their products in Thailand, and they feel that this year’s show is better than last,” she added.

ProPak Asia had come to Bangkok, Thailand, last year during a period of political unrest that had adversely affected the visitor attendance. This year, with political stability in the country, Taiwanese companies are glad to have more visitors inquiring about their products, Ms Liao noted.

Other than looking for distributors or new customers, Taiwanese companies also have another reason for coming to ProPak Asia. “Some of them have been here a long time, maybe seven or eight years, so they want to show that they are still here,” Ms Liao shared.

With ProPak Asia being a successful show, presence really speaks for the wellbeing of companies. Being present would show customers that these companies are still in the region and the industry, and possibly successful, she concluded.

Growing Prospects

D

espite the rainy start to the exhibition yesterday that caused delays in visitor and exhibitor arrivals alike, Singaporean exhibitors were pleased with the visitor response for day one, shared Shen Hui Zhen, assistant manager, international relations, at the Association of Small and Medium Enterprises.

The Singapore pavilion showcases 29 companies for this year’s edition of ProPak Asia, of which a handful of them are first-timers. “They feel it’s a good show this year, and they’ll come back again next year,” she said.

The diversity of other exhibitors at t he show prov ide a u n ique opportunity for networking and business opportunities for those focused on expanding into the Thai, Southeast Asian and generally, Asian markets.

“Because ProPak has a lot of series, the other smaller shows focus within that country itself, but this one [ProPak Asia] is focused on Asia so there’s a bigger crowd all over,” she explained.

The show is also becoming more established and popular with every year, she notes. “I think I heard that next year there will be another extension of another hall, so I think it’s growing. The show is growing bigger and bigger every year.

It’ll be good for exhibitors,” she commented.

Going Premier

D

riven by rising labour costs and the lack of skilled labour, automation is fast-becoming something that manufacturers are giving serious thought to.

According to Simon Roy, VP marketing and client services, industrial equipment group of Premier Tech, there is a misconception in the market that automation equipment, especially robots, are very difficult to use.

“On the contrary, they are the easiest to operate,” he said.

The company firmly believes that automation

6

will be the future and has not wavered under pricing pressure. “We have positioned ourselves as a premium solution provider,” he explained. “That is where we want to be, we are not going to lower our prices for the market.”

The company has achieved double digit growth in each of the past few years and has forecasted the upward trend to continue, driven by growing demand for automation solutions.

While the company’s growth in developed markets such as North America has slowed, Mr Roy said

that they are confident they can achieve around 25 percent growth in emerging ones like South America and Asia.

The two regions have become focus markets and the company has recently acquired a production plant in South America. In addition, it is looking to further establish its presence in Asia.

Although majority of the product research and development is done in Canada, the machines are localised based on specific market requirements before release.

Mr Roy said that the biggest challenge for manufacturers in the region is labour cost, which will make the transition to automated production a necessary step. The market, in turn, has to adjust accordingly.

“The rise in salary has made automation important for a company’s return of investment,” he said.

“The shortage of people to run the plant is the key challenge.”

The benefit of automation is that the production process can run at a consistently high level. “A production line that packs 20 bags per minute will continue to pack 20 bags per minute as long as it is properly maintained and operated.”

“I don’t believe manufacturers are afraid of automation, they just don’t know about it yet.” He added that as manufacturers become more aware of the solutions available, they will be more ready to make investments.

“People are converting their semi-automatic lines into fully automatic lines because they cannot get people to operate the lines and the salary is rising.”

The Secondary Threat

W

ith the recent slate of major food scares and scandals rocking the industry and consumers alike, the issue of food safety has once again come under the spotlight.

At the moment, most manufacturers are focusing on the immediate threats and little attention is being paid to the secondary ones. Perhaps what the industry needs is one high profile incident to understand the true importance of the finer details.

That is a scenario that Peter Bracher, MD of NSF Asia-Pacific, does not want to see. But with the current lack of knowledge and enforcement, the food manufacturing is threading a tight rope.

The situation is improving. “Big brands are now requiring their suppliers to undergo audit to ensure compliance,” he said. Retailers and end users are now aware of the importance to ensure that their suppliers comply with the same standards that they have.

“In the event of a food scare, people will be looking at the brands because they assume that the brands will make sure that their products are safe.

They will not look further upstream,” he explained.

Part of the challenge is that few countries have clearly defined standards that are enforced upon food producers. For example, only a few countries have imposed regulations on food companies to use food grade lubricants in their machines.

Without such enforcement, many regiona l manufacturers are cutting corners. “Some of them think that lubricants are only a small part of the

production process and the risks are relatively low.

They believe that since nothing has happened so far, nothing needs to be changed.”

Instead of government intervention, Mr Bracher feels that pressure from end buyers is more effective in regulating the market. “When the buyers set it as a requirement, suppliers will have to follow. Often, this will move faster than any government regulation.”

While he agrees that a major food incident involving contamination by an industrial lubricant containing harmful ingredients such as heavy metal will bring much needed focus on secondary threats, he hopes that will not happen as it involves the health and safety of people.

“I hope that that the industry will be able to act before something bad happens,” he said.

Inspection From All Perspectives

A

t ProPak Asia 2015, Eagle Product Inspection is showcasing five of its product inspection innovations, including metal detection and x-ray systems.

With food producers facing tighter controls on safety and quality, product inspection systems are now more important than ever as they help ensure food products contain no physical contaminants, which is a requirement for export.

“Urbanisation has spread across many parts of the ASEAN region and we are experiencing lots of the same food and packaging trends here as we do in the West,” Somchai Chakornsiri, head of the company’s Asia Pacific division, says. “Industry regulations and growing popularity of global food safety certifications in the ASEAN region reflect an increased awareness amongst domestic consumers and retailers for high quality and safe products.”

He added that compliance to export is only possible with a credible product inspection programme delivered by advanced quality assurance technology such as x-ray or metal detection.

For example, the company is demonstrating a dual view x-ray inspection system for packaged products completed with a special reject function. The machine produces two beams, enabling the inspection of different sides of each pack as it passes through the search head which maximises detection rate as a result.

Another product on display is an x-ray inspection solution specific for mid-sized packages and products. Enhanced with an optimised material discrimination x-ray system, the machine is able to discriminate between physical contaminants and the original product based on chemical composition.

“The machine is able to detect glass pieces in a glass bottle or metal pieces in metal cans,” Sarah Jarrell, marketing specialist-CRM manager of the company, explains.

In addition, the machine is capable of monitoring multiple packs of products in a single package and can even test each pack for the right packaging quantity. “It is able to check for contaminants in a package containing six different packs and check if each pack contains the right quantity such as five cookies,” she added.

Defective products will be rejected from the production line. The company has developed a rejection system that enables gentle and swift rejection of products.

“Products in material, such as glass, may break if they are rejected by force, leading to more contamination. The rejection system is able to reject the product without breaking it.”

The company’s proprietary software will log every contaminant or defect detected by the system for future references. Ms Jarrell believes that once manufacturers in the region are more acquainted with product inspection practices, they will be willing to make investment in these systems.

She said that with the products on display, the company is showing visitors the benefits offered by inspection systems that can check multiple products for different contaminants and defects at the same time without affecting production speed.

Made For Dense Operation

S

henck Process E-finity is a patented continuous dense phase convey system for fragile materials.

Precise pressure monitoring and airf low corrections allow the system to operate efficiently under all conditions, while gently inducing materials through the convey line in slug form.

The machine is ideally suited for granular and pelleted materials, and has proven itself on many projects for pet foods, cereals, nuts, grains, prills, and pelleted material. Its unique air controls can employ a single air source to operate two to three different systems simultaneously. The result is significant cost savings in both equipment and installation, with continued savings in operation and maintenance moving forward.

Along with sophisticated PLC programming, the air controls direct the air source to work in tune with the air control valve in a proprietary control methodology. Just the right volume of compressed air is delivered at the minimum pressure required to maintain a stable, smooth movement of materials through the con vey line in slug form.

Through its Anhydro brand, the company can prov ide advanced equipment from standa lone evaporator, spray dryer and freeze dryer systems designed specifically for the production of infant formula to complete processing lines.

As part of the production process, an evaporator

12

is used to reduce moisture content in the liquid.

The company’s drying technology gives complete control over the characteristics of the powder including everything from moisture content to aromas and f lavours.

Sy stems a re desig ned to opt i m ise energ y consumption and ensure straight forward cleaning and maintenance to maintain food safet y and reliability. Automated control further ensures the process complies with the latest food standards and provides complete batch traceability.

The company has also released an early warning camera software system for use with its spray dryers.

This technology detects powder build-up on spray nozzles within the dryer and gives an early warning to the operators if there is a build-up which could eventually start a fire in the chamber.

Using this technolog y, customers have the potential to reduce the number of system shut downs and increase production efficiency.

The hydrodynamic cavitation process further enables enhanced processing eff iciency of dairy powders. The Cavitator uses a rotor with precisely machined cavities spinning in a liquid chamber that generates controlled cavitation.

The process generates and collapses bubbles due to the decrease and then increase in pressure produced. As the bubbles collapse, a very powerful energ y wave (shock wave) is released into the surrounding liquid. This shock wave produces a very eff icient, microscopic mixing effect and controllable, scale-free heating.

When used in the production of nutritional dairy powders, it reduces viscosity and structurally conditions the whey and milk. This significantly enhances spray drying eff iciency. The viscosity reduction (temporarily) enables an increase in the solid levels during spray dr ying and other key processes, thereby considerably reducing the operational cost and improving sustainability of the process.

The microstructural conditioning optimizes particle structure, size and distribution of solid components to further improve drying efficiency.

t a luncheon held y e s t e r d a y, F l e x c o highlighted the cleaning efficiency of the company’s new food grade precleaners (FGP), which help reduce carryback (sticky food residue) and prevent bacteria growth on the conveyor, decreasing the risk of product contamination.

“We understand that companies want to reduce downtime because that will result in the loss of revenue,” Mark Green, a light duty field specialist who has been with the company for more than 20 years, says. “Any belt that goes down will also affect the belts further up and down the production line.”

The precleaners are available with a metal detectable grey blade, which is important as many food processing facilities require metal detectable plastics in the food contact zone.

The precleaners can be disassembled and assembled quickly in less than a minute to improve manufacturing efficiencies for cleaning and sanitisation routines.

In addition, the cleaners have a spring tensioner that can be adjusted easily to ensure optimal blade-to-belt contact, minimising blade wear while maximising cleaning capabilities.

Mr Green said that many companies have the misconception that it is much cheaper to create precleaners of their own. In most cases, these precleaners end up as an afterthought and are not designed for proper hygiene and easy maintenance.

The company’s precleaners are carefully designed to eliminate any unnecessary crevices, sharp corners and pinholes that may become breeding grounds for bacteria.

The precleaners are FDA approved and USDA certified for meat and poultry and dairy applications. The grey metal detectable blade also works on any belt from 100mm to 1,500mm.

Focus On Safety

T

he global food safety testing market is set to be driven by the worldwide increase in outbreaks of foodborne illness and implementation of stringent food safety regulations, according to MarketsandMarkets.

Countries across the globe have continued to test food products to meet the regulations of the destination country for export testing or their own country for import testing.

As regulations continue to change, laboratories across the world will continue to be under pressure to find improved testing methods to meet these new regulations. Most of the regulatory changes occur on

lower residue limits, additional regulations added for allergens, and label claims.

Fo o d s a fet y s y s tems s t r i v e to m i n i m i s e contamination in finished food products and also in the environment where the food is produced.

For certain types of products, particularly readyto-eat products, it is critical that environmental pathogens be easily controlled through monitoring proce sse s so t hat t he y do not conta m i nate the product.

The food safety testing market is well established in Europe and North America. Emerging markets such as Latin America, Africa, and Asia Pacific

show a potential for growth due to increase in international food trade, consumer awareness of food contamination, outbreaks of food poisoning, and unexplored potential in emerging countries.

China and India are expected to create a huge opportunity for the food safety testing market.

The market for food safety testing is projected to reach US$15 billion and a volume of 1.15 billion tests by 2019.

In 2013, North America was the largest market for food safety testing, while Asia Pacific was projected to be the fastest-growing market.

Food safet y regulations are increasing food safet y testing volumes in both developed and developing countries. Implementation of Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) in the US and an extended food safety action plan implemented in China are two examples presenting attractive opportunities for driving the growth of the food safety testing market.

The food safety testing market for pathogens commanded a majority share in 2013. Increasing foodborne diseases due to salmonella are also attributed to the growth of the food safety testing market for pathogens. This is mostly seen due to poor handling during food production.

To ensure the safety of food products, the food safety management system is implemented with good manufacturing and handling practices. Increasing food contamination and the outbreak of shiga toxinproducing E coli (STEC) poisoning have resulted in an increase in the frequency of E coli testing in the global food testing market.

Bearing The Weight

14 Activity Highlights

B

ased on the specific requirements of the food industr y and basic legal conditions, the Combics series was developed as an intelligent solution for all weighing applications, from incoming goods through to products on a large technical scale.

The precision of the scales will help users maximise the utilisation of raw materials and increase yield. They are designed for longevity, flexibility, reliability and user-friendliness.

With the topic of hygiene being of utmost importance in food production, the scales meet EHEDG specifications. The materials and surfaces used significantly contribute to minimising contamination. The devices can be cleaned easily and can be used under harsh conditions.

The series provides security by way of its communication and documentation options. Comprehensive interfaces to data management systems and process controls allow an optimum flow of information.

This guarantees traceability to individual process steps. Typical weighing applications are supported by diverse software applications.

Designed for robustness, the scales feature high weight bearing construction with simultaneous display accuracy. In addition, it has high overload protection, good linearity and reproducibility.

istorically, ICP-MS has been limited to samples that contain <0.2% total dissolved solids (TDS). A robust plasma (indicated by a CeO/Ce ratio <1%) enables Agilent’s 7900 ICP-MS to tolerate this matrix level.

The ultra high matric introduction (UHMI) option allows users to routinely measure samples containing up to 25 percent TDS—100 times higher than the traditional limit.

A novel interface design and optimised expansion-stage vacuum system increase ion transmission, providing >109 cps/ppm sensitivity at <2% CeO. The new orthogonal detector reduces background, dramatically improving signal to noise for lower detection limits and more accurate ultra-trace measurements.

The orthogonal detector system (ODS) delivers up to 11 orders of magnitude dynamic range, from sub-ppt to percent-level concentrations. That means users can measure trace elements and majors in the same run, simplifying method development and eliminating over-range results.

Fast transient signal measurement—used for applications such as capillary chromatography, single-nanoparticle analysis and laser ablation—requires an instrument with very short integration times. The machine provides fast data acquisition with 10,000 separate measurements per second.
