| Food Diagnostic Platform |  |
| The aim of the platform is to support customers with design and implementation of diagnostic tests, specifically within the production of foods, animal- and/or plant-products. The platform offers a multidisciplinary approach for the detection of specific (micro)organisms and/or their metabolic components, (myco)toxins, food allergens, antibiotics, nutraceuticals and other quality and safety determining components. New developments in regulation, both national and international, in chain, farm and plant hygiene, require novel solutions for the tracking and tracing of contaminants. To offer optimal customer support, the participants cover whole production chains up to consumer safety as well as relevant technologies.By approaching the platform you have access to expert knowledge in the field of : | |
