Quick, easy downloads of food testing
methods
Applied Biosystems unveils its new iMethods web portal to share downloadable, turnkey food testing methods for Cliquid software, attempting to emulate the success of iTunes
What Apple did for music with iPod and iTunes, Applied Biosystems has set out to do with the new iMethods online portal - essentially making it easier for laboratories to perform regulatory testing by taking advantage of pre-configured methods that can be simply downloaded from the Internet Making the method easily accessible, free of charge, to a wider range of testing laboratories for immediate download could help to identify contaminants at a faster rate to help protect the food supply, supporting continual improvements to food testing

High throughput nucleic acid purification
Applied Biosystems has released the ABI Prism 6100 nucleic acid PrepStation for high throughput purification of RNA and DNA, taking only 30 minutes to isolate total RNA from cells
The portal could also reduce the time required for testing laboratories to adopt the new tests - potentially from months to just a matter of days through the new iMethods option.
The methods include those developed by Applied Biosystems/MDS Sciex and those contributed by expert users.
The first collection available on this new portal includes Melamine, Japanese Positive List (pesticides) and Floroquinalone methods.
Cliquid software for routine food testing offers a simplified interface with pre-configured methods, pre-configured reports and an MRM catalogue in order to customise the required methods, and to simplify the detection of food contaminants, such as pesticides, dyes, mould-related toxins, and chemical and antibiotic residues.
