Great Crested Newts Testing
A single sample taken by an ecologist at any time during the newt breeding season can determine their presence or absence, saving you time and money
Edward has previously studied the genomics and epidemiology of a bacterial disease of honey bees, using genomic data to develop a typing scheme for the causative pathogen that is now in routine use in the National Bee Unit.

Edward's main interests are in genomic epidemiology of foodborne pathogens of humans, as well as microbial community analyses, for example in relation to untargeted detection of pathogens, or Antimicrobial Resistance genes.
More broadly within the sequencing team there is considerable expertise in plant pathology, including untargeted detection of novel viruses, and the genomics of bacterial and fungal pathogens of plants and honey bees.
More about food safety
With a large range of testing abilities, our multi-disciplinary approach gives an overall view of any food issue you may be facing, providing you with the complete information you need to make the strong decisions needed to address these issues.

Ed and their team work with customers to deliver the following services within Fera...
Bacterial Genomics. Microbial Community Analysis. Bespoke Next Generation Sequencing projects
Food Contact Materials Testing
Our work involves targeted and non targeted analysis of known and unknown migrants. Analysis can be carried out in complex matrices (foods, food simulants and food contact materials and articles) utilising a range of advanced chromatographic and mass spectrometric techniques.
Contaminant Testing
Our experts focus on the scientific research relating to intentionally added food components and to those arising from chemical changes during food processing, bioactive chemicals and natural toxicants.
Authenticity Testing
Fera's analysts use industry leading techniques and cutting edge technologies to ensure compliance with food safety regulations, protecting public health and traceability.
