ASTM D7351 Agricultural Pesticide Residue Testing by GC MS
The ASTM D7351 standard provides a comprehensive method for detecting and quantifying pesticide residues in agricultural products. This service is designed to ensure compliance with international standards, thereby protecting the health of consumers and ensuring environmental sustainability. Our laboratory specializes in this high-precision testing using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) techniques.
The GC-MS method allows for a detailed analysis of pesticide residues, offering unparalleled sensitivity and specificity. This technique is particularly useful in identifying trace amounts of pesticides that may pose risks to human health or the environment. By adhering strictly to ASTM D7351 guidelines, we ensure accurate and reliable results.
The testing process begins with sample preparation, which involves thorough extraction of potential residues from agricultural samples using appropriate solvents. This step is critical for ensuring that all relevant compounds are captured accurately during the analysis phase. Following extraction, the samples undergo rigorous quality control checks to eliminate any contamination or degradation issues before proceeding to the GC-MS analysis.
Our state-of-the-art equipment allows us to achieve detection limits far below those required by regulatory bodies like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and World Health Organization (WHO). This precision is crucial for industries dealing with sensitive crops where even small residues could have significant impacts on product quality and safety.
In addition to meeting strict legal requirements, ASTM D7351 testing helps ensure that agricultural products meet industry standards set forth by organizations such as the Codex Alimentarius Commission. These international standards aim to protect public health while facilitating fair trade practices across borders.
By offering this service, we contribute significantly to maintaining food safety and promoting sustainable agriculture practices worldwide. Our commitment to accuracy ensures that consumers can trust in the quality of agricultural products they consume daily.
- Absolutely essential for compliance with global regulations
- Promotes safe handling and use of pesticides
Applied Standards
The ASTM D7351 standard is widely recognized in the agricultural sector as a benchmark for pesticide residue testing. It specifies detailed procedures for sample preparation, extraction methods, and analytical techniques to ensure consistent results across different laboratories.
This standard incorporates advanced chromatographic techniques that allow for precise determination of various pesticides present in crops at extremely low concentrations. Compliance with ASTM D7351 not only guarantees adherence to local laws but also enhances the reputation of manufacturers who demonstrate their commitment to maintaining high standards of product safety and quality.
The use of this standard ensures that our results are universally accepted by regulatory authorities, buyers, sellers, and other stakeholders involved in agricultural trade. It provides assurance that all testing has been conducted according to internationally recognized protocols, fostering confidence among all parties concerned.
