Rapid & Reliable
Introducing REIMS, also known as Rapid Evaporative Ionisation Mass Spectrometry.
Test meat quality or identity faster than traditional methods.
REIMS was developed over a 10-year period by Professor Chris Elliott at Queen’s University Belfast to deliver rapid meat quality and compliance testing.
Not only can REIMS identify the animal species, but it can also identify the breed, country of origin, and even the eating quality.
Revolutionising meat authenticity testing.
Pairing Bia Analytical’s advanced chemometric modelling with powerful REIMS technology will transform the speed of your meat quality control.
It’s fast, cost-effective, and needs no sample preparation. A simple handheld probe delivers results in minutes.
Test more samples in less time to make confident decisions faster.
One test. Multiple insights.
Get product integrity, quality, and consumer preference data from one sample.
REIMS represents an innovative and evolving approach to meat testing
Subject to reference sample collection, REIMS technology has a range of potential applications including:
- Country of origin
- Species
- Breed
- Adulteration (e.g. with horse meat or pork)
- Detection of filler (e.g. collagen)
- Detection of animal by-product, (e.g. spinal material)
- Eating quality and consumer preference (e.g. cut, taste and tenderness).
Build the tests you need
REIMS is effective in beef, fish, crustaceans, pork, lamb and poultry. Compare against our known reference data or build new data models to verify the sample of your choice.
Rapid still means reliable
Powered by chemometrics, ambient mass spectrometry analyses vapour ions to identify the composition, and confirm authenticity against a reference model.
Fast data, faster decisions
REIMS technology is rapid and economical allowing for a greater quantity of samples to be tested in shorter timescales than existing techniques.
