FRITSCH Milling and Sizing

In this webinar, Dr. Günther Crolly will provide a general introduction to the technology of particle size measurement using the example of laser diffraction. In addition to the underlying physical theory, instrumental aspects as well as the preparation and treatment of the sample material are discussed. The importance of the result curves and differences in the comparison of different measuring methods are also deliberated on. 
If you have questions, we will be more than glad to answer these. Contact details can be found on our website:

Shimadzu Analytical & Measuring

Extractables and leachables from food packaging have the potential to cause serious health issues. To ensure consumer safety and regulatory compliance, testing labs need to have reliable methods for the detection of these contaminants in food contact materials (FCMs). 

Using a Shimadzu quadrupole time-of-flight (Q-TOF) mass spectrometer, we developed a proven method for fast, accurate identification of extractables and leachables in FCMs.

Watch the video to learn how you can analyze common food storage products, including a plastic bag, a plastic cup and aluminum foil, in a total run time of 15 minutes.


Fast, Reliable Detection of Extractables & Leachables in Food

See how you can effectively combine our Particle Sizers ANALYSETTE 22 NeXT for the measurement of particle size and the ANALYSETTE 28 for Dynamic Image Analysis. [url][link] https://www.fritsch-international.com/particle-sizing/overview// [/link][name] High-Tech Particle Sizing [/name][/url]

Using Image Analysis to verify Laser Diffraction Results

During a Cannabis Industry Symposium, we demonstrated how efficiently cannabis can be ground with our Universal Cutting Mill PULVERISETTE 19.
By ensuring far greater product integrity and consistency than current analytical and processing methods, our tools enable extractors and manufacturers to create increased yields and ROIs for their business while delivering higher-quality, premium products for the rapidly growing market of medical cannabis patients and consumers. 
The Universal Cutting Mill PULVERISETTE 19 is specifically optimized for biomass processing, utilizing cutting chambers, knives, and airflow with specialized geometries, designed to mitigate heat and physical stress on plant samples while maintaining the chemical profile. Unlike conventional grinders and shredders, our cutting mills provide laboratory precision in particle size uniformity, making these systems ideal for high-quality commercial cannabis production.

Creating a representative laboratory sample 
See how you can effectively combine the the FRITSCH Rotary Cone Sample Divider LABORETTE 27 with the FRITSCH Vibratory Feeder Laborette 24 to create a representative sample. A perfect sample preparation is the indispensable foundation for every analysis, because any errors will be reflected in the results later on. Therefore, the reliable creation of guaranteed representative subsamples plays an absolutely central role. The FRITSCH Rotary Cone Sample Divider LABORETTE 27 offers the ideal conditions , it is the only sample divider on the market dividing your samples with up to 3,000 dividing steps per minute centred over a rotating dividing cone into up to 30 separate channels. Each individual sample with identical chemical and physical properties and with 99.9 % accuracy for many more sample materials than any other similar method. Both models of the FRITSCH Vibratory Feeders LABORETTE 24 are ideal for automatic, uniform feeding of free-flowing materials into sample dividers, mills, mixers, sieve shakers, balances and other laboratory instruments. The vibration, which is controlled by a microprocessor, conveys the sample material out of the funnel over the V or U-shaped stainless-steel channel into the respective equipment. The flow rate can be individually adjusted; the vibration amplitude is precisely controlled, for absolute uniform feed of even smallest quantities.

Creative Enzymes

Enzymes are known to aid food processing in a wide variety of applications, for example manufacturing of cheese, vinegar and wine; leavening of bread; brewing of beer and so on. In these processes enzymes help to save energy and resources, as well as improve the overall efficiency. In many instances, the use of enzymes has been proved to decrease the volumes and toxicity of byproducts and effluents. Creative Enzymes provides a wide range of products including high purity enzymes and custom blends, which can be readily used in food and beverage processes. https://www.creative-enzymes.com/cate/Food-And-Beverage-Applications_108.html

Analytical Cannabis 

Speaking at the Analytical Cannabis Expo East Online 2020, Dr Ben Armstrong, Laboratory Director at Juniper Analytics, presented his talk on how to mitigate matrix effects in cannabis and hemp analysis.

Abstract: The food and pharmaceutical industries established methods for pesticide testing many years ago. However, cannabis is unique in that it contains over 500 compounds not found in other fruits and vegetables. A variety of extraction methods are currently used for sample preparation, each with its own benefits and disadvantages. This is further complicated by the large variety of sample matrices that are presented for pesticide residue analysis. Accuracy, precision and sensitivity of the method are frequently compromised by the presence of matrix effects. Techniques can be used to mitigate the matrix effects that each product presents, however this comes with its own set of challenges. This talk will discuss extraction methods used in the cannabis and hemp industry and highlight strategies for mitigating matrix effects, the need for improved extraction protocols, and validated methods.

Teach Me in 10

The food on your plate – how often do you think about where it has come from, the journey that it has undergone from production to delivery, to arrive on your plate as a meal? This journey is unique to specific types of foods, and as such, the climate impact of the food on your plate will differ depending on what it is you are eating. For instance, do you know how much a traditional turkey Christmas dinner contributes to climate change? A typical Christmas dinner for six people causes the equivalent of nearly 30 kg of carbon dioxide to be released into the atmosphere. This is equivalent to driving a car for three hours. How can we eat more climate-friendly foods? That's a huge topic of interest for Sarah Bridle, professor in the Physics Department at the University of Manchester. Professor Bridle had been studying dark matter and dark energy for 20 years when she started to think about our own planet, and the next 20 years and beyond. As such, she became committed to helping reduce the climate impact of food and divides her research time between food-related climate change and astrophysics. Sarah has won multiple awards for her work, including a Royal Society University Research Fellowship. Most recently, she published the book Food and Climate Change - Without the Hot Air.
