Food Protection Trends - April 2009 - 232
INDuSTRY PRODuCTS meets the detection limits detailed in all current international guidelines. Standards in this application were prepared from a 1000 ppm (mg/L) mercury standard solution and the results demonstrated excellent linearity up to 100 ppb, equivalent to 20 mg/kg in a fish sample. The speed and efficiency of the VP100 allows the analysis of a sample approximately every 90 seconds, while the ease-of-use of the iCE 3000 Series AA allows further method optimization, providing full control over the analysis. In addition, this combination allows users to analyze mercury samples more easily and cost-effectively, compared with more complex and expensive techniques, such as HPLC-ICP-MS or GC-ICP-MS. The iCE 3000 Series range of AA spectrometers combine highprecision optics and state-of-the-art design to provide unrivalled analytical performance, while the VP100 offers fast, repeatable and robust analysis. The iCE 3000 Series AA operates on the intuitive Thermo Scientific iCE SOLAAR software platform. The SOLAAR software is easy-to-use and gives step-by-step instructions to allow quick set-up and easy optimization of the analyses. Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc. 800.532.4752 Waltham, MA www.thermo.com/trace Weber Scientific Colilert-18® and Colisure® Receive pMO Approval from NCIMS DEXX Laboratories, Inc. has received Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO) approval from the National Conference on Interstate Milk Shipments (NCIMS) for Colilert-18® I and Colisure® for coliform and E. coli testing in dairy source waters. This approval follows other official recognitions by the USEPA, AOAC, IBWA and APHA. Colilert-18 and Colisure are easy-to-use, one-step tests that provide fast and accurate results for total coliform and E. coli testing in dairy source waters. They are newer versions of IDEXX’s Colilert® test, which has been approved by the FDA for dairy source waters since 1994. “IDEXX is pleased to announce that Colilert-18 and Colisure are now also FDA approved,” said James Spitzer, IDEXX senior worldwide marketing manager. Distinguishing features include Colilert-18’s ability to provide confirmed test results in only 18 hours, and Colisure’s easy-to-read magenta color endpoint and 24–48 hour read-window. “This represents a great opportunity for the dairy industry to use an easy, rapid, accurate test that has already been widely accepted by the water testing industry,” Mr. Spitzer added. Regulatory agencies recognize the presence of coliform bacteria in water as a reliable indicator that other pathogens may be present. For this reason, coliform testing is required to ensure that source water is pathogen free. Coliform testing is also a faster, easier, and more affordable alternative to testing water for all possible pathogens— often a lengthy, involved and expensive process. IDEXX Colilert and Colisure tests are among the most convenient and affordable coliform tests available. Colilert and Colisure are the only rapid chromogenic substrate (MUG) tests that are PMO approved and recognized for use by certified milk laboratories for negative and positive confirmation for total coliform testing. The proposal to NCIMS was co-authored by Cathy Costa, senior regulatory affairs specialist – dairy, and Dr. Manja Blazer, senior market development and government affairs Manager, both of IDEXX. In addition to their full range of regulatory approvals, Colilert and Colisure tests boast several features that make them ideal for a wide variety of source water applications, such as sanitation, product rinsing, and water as an ingredient. With less than one minute of hands-on time, Colilert and Colisure tests provide total coliform and E. coli results within 18 or 24 hours—30 to 72 hours sooner than traditional methods. The premeasured, unit dosed products are ready to use and allow collection, incubation and reading to be done in the same vessel. Besides saving time and labor, the tests are extremely affordable—20 to 50% less expensive than traditional methods (AWWARF Research Applications, May 1993 #4). Weber Scientific is the authorized distributor for IDEXX Laboratories for dairy and food industry Be sure to mention, “I read about it in Food Protection Trends”! 232 FOOD PROTECTION TRENDS | APRIL 2009
