ISO 22368 Multi-Class Pesticide Residue Quantification in Food
The ISO 22368 standard provides a robust framework for quantifying pesticide residues in food and feed products, ensuring compliance with international safety standards. This service focuses on the comprehensive analysis of various classes of pesticides to ensure that food products are safe for consumption.
Compliance with this standard is crucial not only for maintaining consumer confidence but also for adhering to legal requirements set by regulatory bodies worldwide. The test measures multiple pesticide residues simultaneously, providing a more accurate and efficient analysis compared to single-class residue tests.
The methodology involves the extraction of pesticides from food samples using advanced techniques such as liquid-liquid partitioning or solid-phase extraction. Post-extraction, the samples undergo derivatization for enhanced sensitivity in gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. The results provide a detailed quantification of multiple pesticide residues present in the sample.
Our laboratory utilizes state-of-the-art GC-MS instruments that are calibrated to international standards, ensuring precision and accuracy in residue detection. The process also includes thorough quality assurance checks at every stage, from sample preparation to final reporting.
The results of this testing play a vital role in the food supply chain by providing critical data for decision-making processes. Quality managers can use these insights to ensure product safety and traceability, while compliance officers rely on them to meet regulatory obligations. R&D engineers benefit from the detailed residue profiles generated by this test, helping them develop safer products.
Our services extend beyond just testing; they include providing clients with comprehensive reports that outline not only the results of the pesticide residue analysis but also recommendations for improvement where necessary. This holistic approach ensures that our clients are well-equipped to handle any challenges related to pesticide residues in their food and feed products.
