rme conference series – 10th conference

Food Feed Water Analysis...innovations and breakthroughs!

Continuing the successful series of Rapid Methods Europe conferences, RME2015 takes place in Noorderwijkerhout, the Netherlands, 20-22 April 2015.

RME2015 is the 10th in a series of conferences dedicated to innovations and breakthroughs in microbiological and chemical analysis of food, feed and water. This series aims to further strengthen the academia-industry relations and to further disseminate advanced research towards practical applications in food, feed and water analysis. RME2015 presents new and cutting-edge technologies focusing on multitarget screening, lower detection limits, wider range of matrices and shorter time, with an eye toward looking for unknown compounds and moving tests out of the laboratory.

Conference topics include, but are not limited to ...

• sampling and sample preparation • multi-analyte detection • simple and cost-effective technologies • alternative biosensors and recognition elements • scientifi c solutions for industry • outlook for future analytical advances

... for microorganisms (indicator and spoilage microorganisms, pathogens), contaminants (due to contamination, cultivation practices or production processes), allergens, GMOs, and veterinary drug residues, as well as for authenticity and adulteration.

RME2015 – 10th conference – is supported by the project decathlon and features:

• Plenary lectures & parallel sessions• Special session RME2015 meets decathlon

• Reviews and case studies• Poster sessions. The Advisory Committee particularly encourages students to submit abstracts

for poster presentations. A number of abstracts will be selected for 5-minute talks. • Workshops & vendor demonstrations• Instrument & manufacturers exhibition

As a comprehensive overview RME2015 offers an excellent way to network and to share ideas, providing a reference source for anyone wishing to gain insight into the latest developments in microbial and chemical analysis of food, feed and water ensuring safety and quality.

Food Feed Water Analysisinnovations and breakthroughs!

RME conference series

In 2004, the RME conference series started as ‘Rapid Methods Europe’. During the years, RME has strengthened its position as an important meeting point for academia and industry. RME provides a reference source for anyone interested in the developments in the shift from slower, traditional measurements to more rapid detection of biological and chemical contaminants in food, feed and water. The term ‘rapid’ is used variously in discussions of rapid methodology and instrumentation. It should be noted that ‘rapid’ is not a goal in itself. In addition to increased speed, rapid methods must also take account of other criteria such as sampling and sample preparation, multitarget screening, lower detection limits, accuracy and sensitivity, data analysis, total costs proportionate to the benefi ts, etc., eventually leading to methods best suited for use.

Workshopwanted: dead or alive!

Sponsored and presented by Qiagen While real-time PCR (rt-PCR) is a powerful tool for the detection of potentially harmful pathogens, its

power is diminished by the inability of the method to discriminate between living and dead, non-harmful cells. Viability rt-PCR uses the DNA masking compound propidium monoazide (PMA), which enters dead cells, intercalates into the DNA, rendering the dead cell DNA undetectable by rt-PCR. Viability PCR thus can be used to increase the power of rt-PCR to detect viable and potentially harmful bacteria in a number of settings of interest to the food industry. In this workshop, QIAGEN will demonstrate the applicability of viability PCR to several areas of interest in the food industry: success of decontamination processes, detection and control of Listeria spp. in dairy manufacture, differentiation of live/dead organisms in poul-try husbandry.

Workshopmultiplexed test production

Sponsored and presented by Scienion SCIENION is a leading supplier of quality instrumentation and services for low volume liquid handling.

Proprietary technologies include piezo electric dispensing, surface modifi cations and microarray manufac-turing. Based on SCIENION’s core competencies in ultra-low volume liquid dispensing, assay miniaturisa-tion, and microarray manufacturing, we provide our customers with an integrated product portfolio facili-tating a number of applications: multiplex assays, DNA microarray production, biosensor loading, miniaturized PCR, peptide microarrays, protein microarrays, cell deposition.

The workshop on multiplexed test production will take a broad view of the current science in diagnostic testing, encompassing new technologies and approaches to diagnostics with a focus on the actual test production. The workshop will cover basic test concepts in molecular diagnostics, assay design, validation, standards and QC, and an update on various platforms and equipment (how to choose the right arrayer in your situation) and SCIENION’s view on the future (multiplexing, automation). There will be an opportu-nity to explore innovative solutions to current test manufacturing, ranging from lateral fl ow based test-strips to multiplexed and miniaturized ELISA formats. The workshop objective is to discuss the practical implementation of multiplexed tests and the evaluation of fi eld test use of these technologies. Time will be set aside for open discussion, debate and the formation of collaborations.

SCIENION aims to facilitate an environment in which all involved in test manufacturing and diagnostics can learn from each other and share information and experiences. We look forward to welcoming you to this SCIENION workshop on multiplexed test production.

Workshopdispense technology and materials influence

on lateral flow test and control lines

Sponsored and presented by BioDot BioDot will demonstrate the new PBT tip and in-line degasser used on the XYZ range of movement plat-

forms. This innovation has been produced to further ensure the quality of lines is improved and meeting customer’s expectations when diagnostic tests are being read in the ever increasing area of quantifi cation and the demanding requirements the reader has on line quality and position. In addition, the contact and none contact Frontline and Biojet HR will be demonstrated to show potential differences between the two dispense technologies and their impacts on different nitrocellulose suppliers.
