Development and application of a novel method to assess exposure levels of sensitizing and irritating substances leaching from menstrual hygiene products
can easily penetrate and become systemically available. This study aims to develop a new in chemico methodology that allows to identify and measure realistic consumer exposure levels of several skin ...
A genoserotyping system for a fast and objective identification of Salmonella serotypes commonly isolated from poultry and pork food sectors in Belgium.
Salmonella can lead to economic loss in the food sector. Previously, a genoserotyping method using the MOL- PCR and Luminex technology was developed for the identification of the 6 Salmonella serotypes, and ...
New QSAR models to predict chromosome damaging potential based on the in vivo micronucleus test
methods to determine the potential of chemicals to induce mutations at the gene level has been developed over the last decades. Conversely, only few such methods are currently available to predict potential ...
A Practical Method to Implement Strain-Level Metagenomics-Based Foodborne Outbreak Investigation and Source Tracking in Routine.
often time-consuming and not always successful. Therefore, we aimed to improve outbreak investigation by developing a method that can be implemented in reference laboratories to characterize the pathogen ...
Use of Whole Genome Sequencing Data for a First in Silico Specificity Evaluation of the RT-qPCR Assays Used for SARS-CoV-2 Detection.
RT-qPCR methods were developed in January 2020 for initial in silico specificity evaluation and to verify whether the targeted loci are highly conserved. Now that more whole genome data have become ...
Characterization of Nanoparticles: Measurement Processes for Nanoparticles: Characterization of nanomaterials by transmission electron microscopy: Measurement procedures
of these methods are illustrated with practical examples on what is routine and what remains a challenge. In addition, this book summarizes promising methods still under development and analyzes the ...
Bepaling van spoorelementen in diverse matrices met spectrometische technieken.
elaboration of (new) legislations for products on the Belgian (or European) market. Method During the bachelor thesis we worked on 2 projects regarding the determination of trace elements: 1. Food enzyme ...
NAuRA: Genomic Tool to Identify Staphylococcal Enterotoxins in Strains Responsible for FoodBorne Outbreaks.
SE s constitute a protein family with 27 proteins. However, enzyme immunoassays can only detect directly in food the five classical SE s (SEA- SEE). Thus, molecular characterization methods of strains ...
Development of a genoserotyping system for the identification of Salmonella serotypes
Reaction- PCR (MOL- PCR) & Luminex method was selected as the principle in this PhD study to develop a fast, cost-effective and accurate Salmonella genoserotyping system. The first step of the new method ...
Development and Validation of a UHPLC-ESI-MS/MS Method for Quantification of Oleandrin and Other Cardiac Glycosides and Evaluation of Their Levels in Herbs and Spices from the Belgian Market
develop a targeted analytical method utilizing liquid chromatography—tandem mass spectrometry (LC- MS / MS) for quantification of these plant toxins in a herbal-based food and human urine. The method ...
