Whatman technology is used in the food industry to ensure safety and quality. 

FTA Technology offers the ability to isolate microbial DNA from a variety of food matrices for the rapid molecular characterization of bacteria. Protein microarray and blotting methods are used to analyze protein based toxins to aid in the identification of a variety of pathogens.  Multiwell products are involved in the separation of bacterial species from food matrices for further enrichment in specialized growth media.

 

Protein analysis is also used for analysis of microbial organisms.  Protein blotting membranes are an integral part of detection by immunological means.  Protein Microarrays are suitable for a the analysis of multiple samples for high throughput protein analysis.

Whether going through sample preparation for the isolation of microorganisms or isolating DNA or analyzing protein for microbial identification, Whatman products are vital tools for investigating food safety issues.
