FoodScreener (NMR)

The Bruker FoodScreener is a completely automated, push-button, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) solution that includes analysis and reporting based on 400MHz. It is capable of simultaneous identification and complete quantification of compounds with minimum sample preparation at a reduced cost per sample. It is a dependable screening technique for targeted and non-targeted multi-marker analyses.

The FoodScreener enables the detection of unpredicted and even unknown fraud. Complex statistical models allow the testing of origin authenticity, production process control, false labeling, sample similarity, and species purity. The results are lab-, user- and system independent. Different NMR solutions for juice, wine and honey profiling are detailed below:
