For 40 years, LGC AXIO PT has contributed to the development of the scientific sectors in which we operate. We are very excited to participate in educational initiatives such as the Erasmus Mundus Master in Quality in Analytical Laboratories #EMQAL. This is a Master’s degree with European funding, open to any student from around the world with a background in scientific areas where analytical laboratories play an important role. Our AXIO PT Specialist Miquel Navarro recently acted as an external examiner in evaluating the quality and development of the Master in a series of meetings held at the University of Bergen, which is part of the consortium with other European Universities. It was a great chance for Miquel to meet brilliant students, researchers and educators who will play a key role in shaping the future of analytical quality assurance in laboratories on a global scale. Quality assurance is crucial for any laboratory, regardless of discipline or sector and initiatives like this help students better understand day-to-day work in laboratories worldwide. At LGC AXIO Proficiency Testing, we are proud to support both students and laboratories in their efforts to promote quality assurance. #DrivingQualityTogether #QualityAssurance #ProficiencyTesting #ScienceForaSaferWorld

The Food Authenticity Network (FAN) has published its first annual report – giving a detailed snapshot of food fraud activity across the globe in 2023. Based on official sources only, fruit, vegetables and legumes, milk and dairy products, and beverages were the three commodity groups that generated the most food fraud reports. But honey, herbs and spices, and meat and poultry generated most reports based on an analysis of official, media, and peer-reviewed publications. 💡 We recently hosted a webinar discussing the challenges and best practices in assuring the integrity of herbs and spices. The webinar was joined by industry experts in the sector, including Selvarani Elahi MBE, the UK Deputy Government Chemist and FAN Executive Director.

A working group consisting of members from 26 European countries- the Heads of Food Safety Agencies (HoA), has published its first report on food supplements and identified 117 substances that may have potentially hazardous properties and pose a health risk. Among these substances, 13 have been concluded as “highest priority” due to their potential risk to consumers, especially when consumed in amounts exceeding normal intake. These include Coumarin in plant preparations, piperine, tryptophan, Actaea racemosa, Lepidium meyenii and Ocimum tenuiflorum (holy basil). To safeguard the health of consumers, analytical testing of supplement raw materials and finished products is essential. We're thrilled to announce the release of our latest white paper. Drawing on insights from the LGC AXIO Proficiency Testing team, we examine the breadth and diversity of quality markers and chemical contaminants present in supplements. It also discusses the technical challenges faced by manufacturers.
