Minneapolis-based Thermo Fisher Scientific developed an easy-to-use x-ray detection platform, designed to enable food processors to meet the global demand for more thorough inspection for product contamination.
The Thermo Scientific NextGuard system combines performance, simplicity-of-use and price point to make state-of-the-art x-ray product detection more affordable for food applications. The NextGuard is said to offer up to 50% better detection sensitivity than Thermo Fisher’s previous value-based x-ray system, the EZx. NextGuard is a compact (1-meter-long) system that comes equipped with intuitive software.
