Food Safety & Quality
Advanced analysis methods for ensuring food quality and safety.
​
Ensuring food safety and quality across the complex and evolving supply chain requires fast, sensitive, and accurate analytical solutions. Zion offers comprehensive workflows for screening regulated contaminants, including persistent organic pollutants (POPs) like PFAS, dioxins, and pesticides, which pose significant risks to human and animal health. Advanced technologies like triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (TQ-MS) and trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS) enable high-sensitivity analysis, precise quantification, and differentiation of challenging compounds. For allergen detection, automated solutions like the AllergenScreener provide rapid and reliable results, saving manufacturers time and costs while mitigating the risk of recalls. To combat food fraud, MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry offers flexibility in identifying adulterants and ensuring product authenticity. In quality control (QC), tools like Direct Analysis in Real Time (DART) accelerate decision-making, optimize production efficiency, and maintain the highest standards of food quality. These targeted workflows and solutions empower food manufacturers to safeguard public health, ensure compliance, and deliver products consumers can trust.
Environmental Analysis
Specialized solutions for water, soil, and air sample analysis.
​Zion's advanced analytical solutions are designed to address critical environmental challenges, ensuring the health of humans, animals, and ecosystems. From detecting pesticides, heavy metals, and organic contaminants in food, soil, and water to analyzing air pollution and microplastics, our technologies support a comprehensive range of environmental applications. We provide tools for air quality monitoring, including aerosols and metal dust; precise heavy metal analysis in liquids, solids, and powders; and cutting-edge solutions for microplastics detection, such as particle recognition and filtration methods. Our expertise extends to plant and soil analysis, focusing on contamination levels and farmland quality, as well as water analysis to identify pollutants like oil, grease, and microplastics. Together, these solutions empower researchers and industries to safeguard our planet’s future.
Forensic Applications
Precise and rapid analysis for criminal science.
​Zion’s advanced forensic tools empower investigators to uncover critical evidence long after it becomes invisible to the naked eye. Our solutions cover a wide spectrum of forensic applications, including illegal drug detection, fiber and paint chip characterization, gunshot residue analysis, and more. Designed to maximize information extraction from minimal samples while preserving evidence for further testing, our technologies simplify the collection, analysis, and preservation of forensic materials. From detecting counterfeit documents and distinguishing fraudulent artworks to analyzing environmental pollutants, glass fragments, and firearm residues, Zion offers precise, non-destructive methods for every investigative need. Additionally, our tools support criminal forensics with comprehensive analysis of fibers, vehicle paint, bullets, fingerprints, and drug identification, ensuring law enforcement has reliable evidence to build robust cases.

Clinical Research
Analysis and support services tailored for clinical labs.
​Zion’s advanced metabolomics solutions bring together all the essential components to solve the "metabolomics puzzle," enabling comprehensive analysis of small molecules in cells, tissues, or organisms. By studying molecular responses to diseases, drugs, genetic modifications, or environmental factors, metabolomics provides holistic insights into biological systems. Our technologies accurately detect subtle changes in molecular profiles, identifying characteristic "fingerprints" in biofluids and cells using advanced spectrometric techniques and multivariate analysis. Whether it's non-targeted metabolomics for biomarker discovery, targeted metabolomics for biomarker validation, or lipidomics for detailed lipid analysis, Zion simplifies workflows, empowering researchers to uncover critical insights and advance their understanding of complex metabolic processes.
