Food Safety in the Heartland

RR其他项目信息 7.项目概要/摘要 该项目的主要目标是为联邦实验室提供快速反应能力支持 参与测试食物和食品中可能威胁公众健康的化学污染物， 除了作为测试食品和食品产品的实验室资源外， 监视活动。其他目标包括完善或扩展现有的分析 食品中化学污染物的检测程序， 当没有合适的测试程序时，最后建立网络 食品安全实验室的沟通，合作，并相互支持，共同 食品安全的目标。将使用各种分析仪器来支持化学测试 程序：ICP/MS用于检测金属，GC/MSD和LCMS离子阱用于检测 有机化学品和ELISA用于快速筛选选定的有机化学品。

RR Other Project Information 7. Project Summary/Abstract The primary goal of this project is to provide surge capacity support for federal laboratories involved in testing food and food products for chemical contaminants that may threaten public health in addition to being a lab resource for testing of food and food products during surveillance activities. Other goals include the refinement or extension of existing analytical procedures for testing chemical contaminants in foods, the development of new testing procedures when suitable testing procedures are not available, and finally to establish a network of food safety labs that communicate, collaborate, and support one another with the common goal of food safety. A variety of analytical instruments will be used to support chemical testing procedures: ICP/MS for the testing of metals, GC/MSD and LCMS ion trap for the testing of organic chemicals, and ELISA for rapid screening of select organic chemicals.
