Trace chemicals, especially pesticides, easily find their way into the food cycle, affecting the health of consumers and disturbing the ecosystem in general. Therefore, quality regulations require companies to work towards responsible environment citizenship through regular pesticide residue testing.

This makes it imperative for the food processing and packaging industry to wake up to the requirement of outsourcing their trace level pesticide residue testing to chemical analytical contract laboratories that can offer professional expertise and state-of-the-art infrastructure to combat the problem.

All lab provide the best in league turnkey solutions for trace level pesticide residues chemical analysis of environmental and food samples.

Environmental samples include water and soil samples and the food samples include dry foods, fatty foods, fruits and vegetables, feeding mixtures, herbs, teas and more. Each sample is analyzed for a wide range of compounds using the best and most technologically advanced equipment and analytical processes.

pesticide residue testing services include:
• Analysis of individual or groups of pesticides
• Targeted pesticide testing
• Multi- residue screening for over 150 compounds

These tests are performed on samples of food and beverages, animal feeds, agricultural crops, water, rice and tobacco products. The 700 compounds for which multi-residue screening is conducted belong to chemical compound classes such as:

• Organophosphorus
• Organochlorine
• Pyrethroid
• Triazine
• Dicarboximide
• Organonitrogen compounds
• Carbamates
• Plant growth regulators and many more

All lab conduct the pesticide residue testing on the latest LC/MS/MS and GC/MS/MS systems and all methods have been developed and validated in compliance to the latest USFDA, EU – SANCO, CODEX and FSVPS R ussia requirements.
