RSSL is to employ high-tech hand-held scanners in the fight against foreign bodies in food and pharmaceuticals. Scientists from RSSL's Microscopy Department are already experts in identifying foreign bodies. Now they are launching a new service that will help trace the source of foreign bodies from the factory floor, and may help companies fight off false claims from customers. Using the hand-held scanners, RSSL's scientists will be able to map all the different metals, and many of the plastics, which are used throughout a factory. This information can then be correlated with the results of a foreign body identification to suggest likely sources of the contamination. It will also be used to demonstrate that none of the suspect material is used on-site, which might suggest a false claim from the consumer.
