Capillary Electrophoresis for Food and Beverage Applications
A fast, versatile, automated solution for analysis of organic and inorganic ions.

Single Source Solution for Accurate Analyses
The GPA100 Capillary Electrophoresis System is a flexible, modular and inexpensive alternative for the analysis of any organic or inorganic molecule, in any media, carried out in minutes or even seconds - using only milliliters of buffer and nanoliters of sample. The GPA100 can be a powerful tool in your lab by complementing or substituting the expensive and lengthy HPLC, IC or GC analyses.

Single Source Solution for the Food Industry
Our system is used for many types of assays - but is particularly relevant for agricultural, food and beverage applications

High-resolution power, speed of analysis and the versatility of applications on one instrument make CE a powerful tool for the monitoring of food products where the repeated analysis of compounds having different chemical properties is required.

For example, the ionogenic nature of many colorants makes the use of high efficiency CE technique a potential alternative to chromatographic methods as the use of synthetic food colorants is restricted by both national and international authorities.

Single Source Solution for the Beverage Industry
Small quantities of organic acids are important constituents in wine. Key information on fermentation is obtained from malate and lactate. Tartrate, a major organic acid, is sometimes added as tartaric acid for pH adjustment. Acetate is an indicator of age.

Indirect UV detection is an effective technique for the analysis of non-UV absorbing analytes such as inorganic anions and organic acids in beverages such as wine or sodas.

Capillary Electrophoresis offers much greater sensitivity to ionic components (much lower LOD), minimum sample and buffer volumes and less demand on the chemists’ time.

Modular system fits easily into any lab environment.
 

All key components are visible and easily accessible for operation, maintenance and repair.

We are experts in this technology and we not only supply systems but we also provide:
Consumables for CE Analyses, Method Development Services, Hands-on and Webinar Workshops, Service Contracts for PrinCE, Crystal, and Thermo Systems, High Quality Kits for the Analysis of Metals, Phosphate, Organic Anions, Cations, etc.
