Occurrence of microcystin congeners in surface waters and food in Belgium as a source of exposure to humans

cyanobacteria blooms among the global population in Belgium. There is a general concern about the negative impact of the blooms and their toxins on the environment and public health. Yet, limited data about ...

Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety

Ultimately, a validation of the method is still necessary in order to obtain a precise limit of detection based on the analysis of a large dataset of samples. Moreover, other technologies can still be ...

Development of a data-intensive centralized system for surveillance and outbreak investigation of bacterial pathogens using whole-genome sequencing

a limiting factor, as full runs on Illumina sequencers typically take several days to complete. Therefore, a real-time data analysis protocol for Illumina sequencing was implemented, enabling data analysis ...

Characterization of Nanoparticles: Measurement Processes for Nanoparticles: Characterization of nanomaterials by transmission electron microscopy: Measurement procedures

each measurement problem, including limitations, advantages and disadvantages Shows which nanocharacterization methods are best for different classes of nanomaterial Demonstrates the practical use of ...

Bepaling van spoorelementen in diverse matrices met spectrometische technieken.

predetermined maximum limit. Pb in this sample also showed an increased concentration compared to the other samples. Since the variation between the replicas was high, a re-analysis of the sample will be ...

Development of a genoserotyping system for the identification of Salmonella serotypes

(EU regulation N°2160/2003, Belgian royal decree 27/04/2007 and Belgian FASFC note BP- MN- FDS / LABO /1557457 v8), with the aim to limit their transmission to humans. Unfortunately, the classical ...

Nanomaterials for food applications: Analytical challenges and practical solutions for enforcing labeling of nanoingredients in food products in the European Union

limitations of existing analytical techniques, and the lack of validated studies and reference materials. This book chapter summarizes these challenges and, in addition, suggests a screening strategy for ...

Development of molecular tools for rapid detection and quantification of indoor airborne molds to assess their impact on public health

Currently, contamination of the indoor environment by fungi is suggested to be a public health problem, although scientific evidence on the causal link is still limited. The monitoring of indoor airborne ...

Study of the possible migration risks of food contact materials for children under 3 years

migration limits) showed that for some baby bottles, several not authorised compounds exceeded the generally adapted “no-detection limit” of 10 µg kg-1. Substances, such as 2,4-di-tertbutylphenol (up to 118 ...
