SHORT COURSE ON CONTAMINANTS IN FEED AND FOOD
Contamination problems in the feed and food sectors have become over the years a major challenge to take up. Problems of contaminations deal not only with public health and animal health but also represent economic issues for producers. Aside classical chemical analytical methods, the urge of efficient identification and early detection of contaminants recommend alternative approaches combining other methods. This course focuses on DNA technologies, light microscopy, near infrared spectroscopy and imaging which accounts for a new arsenal of solutions. The short course offers participants both theoretical lectures (legislation, methods and data analysis) and practical aspects (laboratory workshops). Numerous examples on each topic are commented. Interactive sessions will put you on the path to success.

RME 2014: FOOD FEED WATER ANALYSIS: INNOVATIONS AND BREAKTHROUGHS!
RME2014 is the 9th in a series of conferences dedicated to innovations and breakthroughs in microbiological and chemical analysis of food, feed and water. This series aims to further strengthen the academia-industry relations and to further disseminate advanced research towards practical applications in food, feed and water analysis. During the years it has strengthened its position as an important meeting point for academia and industry. RME2014 presents new and cutting-edge technologies focusing on multitarget screening, lower detection limits, wider range of matrices and shorter time, with an eye toward looking for unknown compounds and moving tests out of the laboratory. As a comprehensive overview RME2014 offers an excellent way to network and to share ideas, providing a reference source for anyone wishing to gain insight into the latest developments in microbial and chemical analysis of food, feed and water ensuring safety and quality.

EMERGING AND RAPID METHODS IN MICROBIOLOGY
New advances in analytical and molecular technologies are having a dramatic impact on the practice of microbiology. These new and rapid methods have led to improvements in nucleic acid, chemical, immunological, and Nano/MEMs systems for the identification of microorganisms, toxins, and cellular products. These technologies are providing new and valuable solutions across multiple research and market sectors in fields such as food safety, agriculture, bio-pharmaceuticals, environmental safety, and animal health care. These emerging and rapid methods provide greater sensitivity, accuracy, precision, and reproducibility when compared to conventional growth-based methods. This workshop at the K-State–Olathe campus will provide participants an introduction into the application of these new technologies and the benefits they provide in the practice of microbiology in the real world.
