Our food capabilities

LGC’s commitment to the implementation of leading edge technologies provides stakeholders in analytical science, from both industry and the public sector, with a centre for scientific excellence.

Analytical techniques span a range of scientific fields combining traditional chemistry, nanotechnology and advances in molecular biology to create powerful methods for use in analysis and scientific research.

Techniques available within LGC include HPLC , GC , (headspace) GC-MS , GC-ToF , GC-TOF-MS , LC-MS , LC-MS- MS , AAS, electrophoresis, immunoassay and molecular biology (e.g. DNA based methods), ICP-OES , XRD , MS , (ATR-) FT-IR and NMR.

State-of-the-art technology in the form of a gas chromatograph with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC-ToF-MS), for example, has significantly reduced time of analysis of residues enabling larger batches of samples to be examined quickly and cost-effectively.

Sample chromatograms and the mass spectral database can be revisited in subsequent months or years for retrospective analysis allowing searches to be made for compounds not initially targeted.
