Seafood & Aquaculture

Hazardous residues and contaminants can enter seafood through the environment, during processing, or during production through preventive or misuse of veterinary drugs in aquaculture. Analysis of chemical contaminants such as veterinary residues, toxins, pesticides, and other compounds is an essential part of seafood & aquaculture food safety programs. With shifting consumer preferences towards antibiotic free products, processors must verify antibiotic and hormone free marketing claims, and ensure conformity with country of export regulatory requirements. PerkinElmer offers a complete, sensitive and flexible range of state-of-the-art solutions, from high throughput ELISA screening systems to the most advanced triple quadrupole mass spectrometer, to rapid screen, detect and quantify all the possible contaminants in seafood at trace levels.

Fast and accurate measurements are key to determine the exact composition of fish.

Our NIR instruments can measure fat, moisture, protein, collagen and more in seconds simultaneously. Our analyzers ensure that finished products are in quality compliance and meet nutritional requirements.

Efficient real-time monitoring is mandatory to ensure high quality fish and seafood products. Our at-line and in-line analyzers measure in-production samples and control the process. With fast, accurate results, adjustments can be made in real-time to better meet target values. They also help in optimizing the whole lab workflow, reducing safety margins and rework.
