Food safety


Due to the reduced downtime of the TSQ 9610, more samples can be evaluated, which generates a higher sample throughput per employee resulting in a higher analytical efficiency.

  • Eurofins SOFIA GmbH, an analytical testing laboratory in Germany, has implemented the Thermo Scientific TSQ 9610 GC-MS/MS system to improve efficiency in analyzing complex food and environmental matrices. The laboratory, which analyzes soil, water, material samples, and oils, cereals, tea, herbs, and spices for food safety, faces challenges in dealing with diverse sample matrices and ensuring cost efficiency and speed.
  • The TSQ 9610 system has reduced downtime, allowing more samples to be evaluated, resulting in higher analytical efficiency. The laboratory also aimed to assess the sensitivity, reduction of instrument downtime, and ease of use of the new system.
  • The TSQ 9610 was tested on over 200 pesticides in oils, tea, and food samples with high fat content. The results showed that the TSQ 9610 generated a higher sample throughput and time savings of 10% to 20% per sample run.
  • The NeverVent AEI source on the TSQ 9610 also saved time by allowing for the exchange of the source, filament, and column without venting the system.
