First true BSE testing service
Reading Scientific Services says it is the first and only commercial laboratory in the UK to offer a true testing service for BSE, based on the detection of prions
It is non-destructive and permits fast, simultaneous, multi-element detection for all elements from sodium to uranium.
It also permits the gathering of qualitative, quantitative and spatial distribution information, and will be especially valuable to RSSL in its analysis of coatings.
In addition to assisting RSSL in its foreign body identification work for the food, drink, pharmaceutical, cosmetics and healthcare sectors, the new equipment will also allow RSSL to develop expertise in other applications such as the analysis of paint chips, ink, metal fatigue, and electronic circuitry and components.
