CYP450 Enzyme Panel Testing for Feed Contaminants
The CYP450 enzyme panel testing is a critical tool in ensuring the safety and quality of feed products. This test evaluates the presence of contaminants that can affect the hepatic (liver) function enzymes, which play a pivotal role in detoxifying harmful substances within the body. Understanding the impact on these enzymes helps in identifying potential risks to animal health and welfare.
The CYP450 family of enzymes is responsible for metabolizing various xenobiotics, including drugs, environmental pollutants, and feed contaminants. By assessing the activity levels of specific CYP450 isoforms present in feeds, we can determine if there are any potential risks to animals consuming these products.
This testing method aligns with the broader scope of clinical & healthcare testing within our laboratory, where we focus on ensuring safety standards for various sectors. In this particular service, we adhere strictly to industry standards and guidelines to provide accurate results that are reliable and repeatable.
The test involves collecting samples from feed materials and analyzing them using advanced analytical techniques such as liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). This allows us to detect even trace amounts of contaminants, ensuring that the final product meets strict safety criteria. Our laboratory strictly follows international standards like ISO 17025 for quality assurance.
For accurate results, it is essential to follow proper specimen preparation procedures. Samples should be collected in a way that minimizes contamination and degradation. This includes using sterile techniques and maintaining cold chain logistics if necessary. Once collected, samples are transported to our laboratory under controlled conditions to ensure their integrity before analysis.
| Applied Standards | Description |
|---|---|
| ISO 17025 | Ensures that the testing processes meet internationally recognized quality requirements. |
| ASTM E1348 | American Society for Testing and Materials standard providing guidelines for sample preparation in feed analysis. |
The results of this test are crucial for ensuring the safety of animal feeds. By identifying potential risks early on, we can advise our clients on necessary corrective actions to protect both livestock health and food safety standards.
This service is particularly valuable in R&D environments where new feed formulations are being developed or tested for market introduction. It also serves as an important tool for compliance officers responsible for ensuring adherence to regulatory requirements set by governing bodies like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or other relevant authorities worldwide.
Applied Standards
| Standard Number | Description |
|---|---|
| ISO 17025 | Absolutely critical for ensuring the laboratory meets internationally recognized quality requirements. |
| ASTM E1348 | An important guideline provided by the American Society for Testing and Materials, focusing on sample preparation methods in feed analysis. |
In addition to these primary standards, we also adhere strictly to other relevant international guidelines such as those issued by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
