In the food and beverage industry, contamination is a key concern at certain critical control points (CCP) in the production process. Contamination from a quality standpoint poses a health risk for consumers. Amid growing concerns around food safety, chemists in this field are feeling heightened pressure to improve their quality standards. Using the correct GC column for each lab application is a key part of achieving superior performance in separation and low bleed.
