Lifeasible, a biotechnology company specialized in agricultural science, recently announced the release of residues and contaminants testing service, aiming for minimizing the risk of health impacts.

 

The presence of residues and contaminants in the food chain can result from a variety of factors, such as contamination from environmental sources, cross-contamination or formation during food processing, the presence of mycotoxins, and residues of agrochemicals (such as pesticides and veterinary drugs).

 

These contaminants or residues may be harmful and have a negative impact on consumer health when consumed. In addition, they can harm the immune system, interfere with hormones, impair reproductive and developmental processes, and even result in cancer. Food contamination can have negative economic effects in addition to health problems, which could hurt international trade. Therefore, it is essential to identify and assess residues and contaminants in food products in order to ensure the health and safety of consumers.

 

With well-established residues and contaminants testing laboratories accredited by ISO/IEC 17025, Lifeasible can provide effective testing solutions utilizing innovative and in-depth techniques, including: LC-MS/MS or GC-MS/MS, ICP-MS, ELISA, CEC, and more.

Lifeasible, a biotechnology company with years of experience in tissue culture, recently announced the release of one-top forestry tissue culture for customers worldwide.

 

Forests provide humans with a variety of forest products necessary for survival, such as fuel, wood, timber, paper, and fodder, as well as play an ecological role by balancing carbon dioxide and regulating rainwater. However, due to excessive logging and fires, forest area has been greatly reduced, and it is critical to protect forests.

 

With the help of science and technology, suitable genotypes for afforestation and rapid propagation and planting of forest trees can be adopted to protect forests. The most common methods of asexual propagation are cuttings, grafting, and crimping. Plant tissue culture is the most efficient and convenient of these methods, and it is widely used in forestry, basic botany, genetics research, agricultural breeding and variety preservation, and other research fields.

 

Lifeasible, a specialized plant biotechnology company with cutting-edge plant tissue culture technology, provides clients worldwide with custom tissue culture solutions and optimized protocols for use in forestry development.

 

The contents of Lifeasible’s tissue culture in forestry are mainly as follows.

Micropropagation

Embryo culture

Haploid segregation

Apical meristem culture

Protoplast and somatic hybridization

 

Tissue culture services in forestry at Lifeasible cover an extensive range of species, including:

Pines (Pinus spp.), Hemlock (Tsuga spp.), Redwood (Sequoia spp.), Arbor vitae (Thuja spp.)
Juniper (Juniperus spp.), Red spruce (Picea rubens), White spruce (Picea glauca), Bald cypress (Taxodium spp.), Oak (Quercus palustris), Chinese Photinia (Photinia serrulata), Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus robusta), Poplar (Populus tremula), Cercis gigantea, Serviceberry, Pinus ponderosa, Eucalyptus globulus...
