This VSA is the only moisturesorption analyzer to combine both dynamic andtraditional isotherm methods in one instrument.Decagon Devices, 800.755.2751 • www.aqualab.comAntibiotic DetectionIn anticipation of the new antibiotic rule from the U.S. <strong>Food</strong>and Drug Administraion (FDA), Neogen developed its BetaStarPlus lateral flow system with a separate ceftiofur detection line.This system offers a three-line test for beta-lactam antibioticresidues in milk. The primary detection line detects the five betalactamdrugs as outlined in the Pasteurized Milk Ordinance,while a special secondary line uses antibody detection specificallyfor ceftiofur and its metabolite. BetaStar Plus has been validatedthrough the AOAC, FDA and the National Conference onInterstate Milk Shipments.Neogen, 800.234.5333 • www.neogen.comProfessionalThermocoupleThermoWorks has introducedits splash-proofThermapen, a professionalthermocouple with a foldawaydesign that replacesbulky hand-held thermometersfor use in restaurants,labs and food processingplants. TheThermapenhousing is madeof molded plasticembeddedwith Biomaster,which inhibitsthe growth ofcommon bacteria,such asE. coli, Listeria and Salmonella,among others. Each thermocoupleis traceable to the NationalInstitute of Standardsand Technology and includesa certificate of calibration withactual test data.ThermoWorks, 800.393.6434www.thermoworks.comPumps for Juice ProcessingWith quick unloading time and ease of maintenance, MasoSine pumps are the ideal solutionin both the fast-growing ready-to-pour and frozen concentrate market segments. Thehighly economical and reliable pumps offer superior speed of transfer, powerful suction, lowshear and low pulsation. The pumps are used in several phases of juice processing, includingloading and unloading of takers that transport the concentrate, pumping concentrate to ablending process and pumping concentrate to fillers for packaging as frozen concentrate.These pumps are capable of being cleaned in place (CIP), and various CIP modifications areavailable, depending upon the product being pumped and the cleaning protocol used.MasoSine Process Pumps, 800.282.8823 • www.masosine.com62 F O O D S A F E T Y M A G A Z I N E
