UCT would like to extend a special thanks to all of this year’s attendees at NACRW who paid visit to the booth and/or attended our sponsored lunch and learn focused on veterinary drug residue analysis. This year was a great success and we are excited about the new and improved products and solutions that we were able to feature and demonstrate.

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are chlorinated organic compounds widely used in various industrial applications from the 1930s until their ban in the late 1970s. The compounds have excellent heat resistance and electrical insulating properties, so they were commonly used in industrial equipment. PCBs were also prevalent in caulking as a plasticizer in buildings constructed between 1950…

Researchers at the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Memphis and Departments of Ophthalmology and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Tennessee have recently published a paper investigating the use of a feedback controlled, closed-loop system for anesthesia.
UCT’s XtrackT® solid phase extraction sorbent (XRDAH506) was employed in a validated method to isolate several illicit drugs from urban waste water samples in South Australia. The occurrence of five drugs of abuse in raw influent and treated effluent wastewater was investigated over a period of 1 year in Adelaide. Results showed that all the targeted drugs were on average incompletely removed by wastewater treatment, with removal performance highest for morphine (94%) and lowest for MDMA (58%).
UCT is pleased to be attending for the first time Emirates Forensic, the Middle East region’s largest event on Forensic Science and Forensic Medicine. Emirates Forensic will be held from 2nd to 4th of April 2017 in Sheikh Maktoum Hall of the Dubai International Convention & Exhibition Centre. The show is being organized by INDEX Conferences & Exhibitions Org. Est along with its strategic partner, Dubai Police. Stop by BOOTH A05 to learn more about UCT’s latest product offerings and collaborations.
In produce processing, water used to wash both fresh and fresh-cut produce is commonly treated with sanitizers for the purpose of controlling pathogens and minimizing microbial cross-contamination. Chlorine-based sanitizers are most commonly used for produce processing in the food industry (FAO/WHO, 2008). While chlorine’s efficacy in controlling pathogens is well recognized, one of the main concerns is the reactivity of chlorine with organic and inorganic substances to generate harmful disinfection bi-products (DBPs) and emerging DBPs of concern including haloacetonitriles, halonitromethanes, haloacetamides, and nitrosamines (NISAMs). Monitoring these DBPs is necessary to protect food safety but comprehensive analytical methods have been lacking.
In a recent paper authored by Wan-Ning Lee et al., published in Food Chemistry (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodchem.2018.02.134), UCT’s Enviro-Clean® 521 sorbent (200 mg/ 6 mL) was employed to analyze DBPs and NISAMs in food wash water.
