Method development for analysis of nanoplastics in drinking water and milk using transmission electron microscopy (TEM)
energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (STEM- EDX) allowed differentiating plastic particles from mineral contaminants on the grid by their elemental composition. The limit of detection, determined by the sample ...
BSFM 2024- Reported food-borne outbreaks in Belgium, 2023
outbreaks, collects and centralizes the information on food-borne outbreaks (FBO s) and assures the follow-up of the FBO s in Belgium. Materials and Methods A food-borne outbreak is defined as an incidence, ...
Real-time cluster detection of Listeria to enhance outbreak investigation in Belgium
enable real-time tracking of potential outbreaks and initiate further investigations promptly. Materials and Methods Since 2020, each clinical isolate sent to the NRC is sequenced on a weekly basis by ...
Development of novel analytical methods to trace small micro- and nanoplastics in food matrices
Foods,-, Paris, France (2023) Keywords: analytical methods food matrices microplastics nanoplastics Abstract: In the last decades, our life style significantly changed, for instance in terms of consumption ...
Dietary exposure of Sorbates (E 200 – 202) and Benzoates (E 210 – 213) for the Belgian population
these FA s was estimated. Three matrix-matched analytical methods were developed using ion chromatography coupled with conductivity detection. The methods were validated in-house and applied to 387 ...

Introduction of WGS in food microbiology: advantages and challenges
for the Safety of the Food Chain (FASFC) published the opinion 18-2021 regarding whole genome sequencing (WGS) for the detection of foodborne outbreaks and bacterial risk assessment. This opinion was ...
The GEONs API-fingerprint program: Tackling falsifications of APIs
casualties happened when altered API s escaped detection in routine analytical testing. Any form of tampering the content or information about the content might affect the quality of the API, the finished ...
Advances in the physicochemical characterization of nanoparticles in a regulatory context.
EM-based methods and to determine the measurement uncertainties are given. Initiatives to make EM analyses more time- and cost-efficient by automation of STEM EDX imaging and image analysis with constituent ...
