β-Agonist Residue Testing in Veterinary Samples
The presence of β-agonists in veterinary samples can pose significant challenges to animal health and food safety. These synthetic agonists, including clenbuterol, salbutamol, and terbutaline, are used primarily for enhancing meat quality by increasing muscle mass or improving feed efficiency. However, their illegal use in livestock has been associated with severe health risks for consumers of meat products.
In response to this global concern, our laboratory offers comprehensive β-agonist residue testing services designed specifically for veterinary samples. Our state-of-the-art facilities and experienced team ensure that every test adheres to the highest standards set by international guidelines such as ISO 17025 and EU Directives.
The process begins with meticulous sample preparation, which involves thorough homogenization followed by extraction techniques like QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, and Safe). After extraction, the samples undergo quantitative analysis using Liquid Chromatography coupled with Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), a highly sensitive method capable of detecting even minute traces of β-agonists.
Our laboratory strictly adheres to internationally recognized standards such as EN 16944 and USP . These stringent protocols guarantee accurate, reliable results that meet regulatory requirements. Compliance with these standards is crucial not only for ensuring product safety but also for maintaining consumer trust and brand reputation.
Our expertise in this area extends beyond just testing; we provide valuable insights into the implications of β-agonist residues on animal health and food security. Our team comprises scientists who are well-versed in both theoretical knowledge and practical application, enabling us to offer tailored recommendations based on our findings.
In addition to providing peace of mind regarding product safety, our services play a vital role in upholding ethical standards within the agricultural industry. By conducting thorough residue tests, we help prevent instances of illegal drug use that could compromise animal welfare and public health.
Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our robust quality assurance measures. We employ advanced instrumentation and rigorous validation processes to ensure every test result is accurate and reliable. Our proficiency in handling complex samples and delivering prompt results makes us a preferred choice among industry professionals seeking dependable solutions for their compliance needs.
