From May 24 to 31, 2025, the highly anticipated 2025 National Science and Technology Week for Food and Strategic Reserves was grandly held in Changsha, Hunan Province. With the theme of "Empowering Technological Talents, Advancing Food and Strategic Reserves," this event focused on scientific and technological innovation and talent cultivation in the field of food and strategic reserves, serving as an important platform for promoting exchanges and showcasing advancements. As a leading enterprise in the field of food heavy metal detection, Hocent, a subsidiary of CKIC, showcased its latest scientific and technological innovations at the event.
During the event, Liu Huanxin, member of the CPC Leadership Group of the National Development and Reform Commission and Secretary and Director of the CPC Leadership Group of the National Food and Strategic Reserves Administration; Zhang Yingchun, member of the Standing Committee of the Hunan Provincial Committee and executive Vice Governor and Deputy Secretary of the CPC Leadership Group of the Hunan Provincial People’s Government; Xia Wenbin, member of the CPC Leadership Group of the Hunan Provincial Development and Reform Commission and Secretary and Director of the CPC Leadership Group of the Hunan Provincial Food and Strategic Reserves Administration, visited Hocent’s exhibition booth to offer guidance. All of them have spoken highly of Hocent’s series of technological innovations in the field of heavy metal detection, acknowledging Hocent’s past efforts while encouraging its future development.
Hocent showcased its TN3000 Dumas Nitrogen Analyzer, a featured product at this event, which enables rapid and precise determination of crude protein and water-soluble protein content in food samples such as wheat and soybeans. It also debuted multiple new products, HMD2000 Lead/Arsenic Analyzer, DMA1000 Portable Mercury Analyzer, and LS2000 Automatic Online Cadmium Analyzer, achieving full coverage of heavy metal detection in food and presenting holistic food testing solutions. Compared to conventional equipment, these innovations offer significant advantages by integrating user-friendly operation, rapid determination, high accuracy, and cost-effective testing, providing robust technical support for the effective implementation of the national food safety policy of “testing before procurement.”
Focus on the Scene, Collaborate on Food Safety
It was a great encouragement for Hocent to be invited to participate in this event, and it also served as a powerful driving force to propel Hocent to continue forging ahead. In the future, Hocent will always adhere to innovation as its sharp edge, continuously overcome technical challenges, and contribute hardcore strength to safeguarding national food safety and ensuring a secure "Chinese rice bowl."
