Ambient Mass Spectrometry

Bia Analytical is delighted to announce the roll out of ground breaking technology for meat authenticity analysis that will empower businesses to make quick decisions and maintain provide additional confidence in the integrity of their products.

All of these parameters contained in a single test truly represent a ground-breaking advance.
