SCIENTIFIC SESSIONS

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2015

1:30 pm – 3:00 pm

Wiley Award Symposium: Innovative

Approaches to the Analysis of Veterinary Drugs

and Chemical Contaminants in Foods

The last decade has seen major advances in the analysis

of chemical contaminants. Utilizing high resolution liquid

chromatography mass spectrometry, scientists can

now quantitate at the sub part per billion levels. As the

instrumentation advances, analysts are now able to screen

for over 200 chemicals in a single run. Others are screening

contaminants in high throughput micro plate format using

very small sample sizes. Still others are using very fast

instrumental analysis techniques which push the envelope

of sample throughput even further. Join us for a glimpse into

the future of contaminant analysis.

Norovirus Detection in Foods: Current Status

and Roadmap to Future Validated Methods

Noroviruses are one of the leading causes of foodborne

illnesses in the USA and around the globe. The method-

ologies for norovirus detection include complex steps of

sample preparation and molecular-based amplification tech-

niques. As

in vitro

cell culture for the virus is not available as

of now, the confirmation of live/ infectious virus is unlikely.

Thus, the interpretation of positive molecular screening

results often becomes challenging due to the lack of cor-

relation with virus infectivity or viability. This necessitates a

thorough scientific review of the currently available meth-

ods and development of specific guidelines to validate

the performance of these methods. The method validation

activities will require scientific capacity building in-terms of

strain collections, method controls and data interpretation.

The symposium will address these issues through the expe-

rience of global key opinion leaders in the field of norovirus

detection. The talks will be followed by an interactive open

discussion including audience participation to deliberate

key issues those have hindered the routine use of diagnos-

tic methods for virus detection in foods.
