ISO 28076 Fluoroquinolone Analysis in Aquaculture Products

ISO 28076 Fluoroquinolone Analysis in Aquaculture Products

The analysis of fluoroquinolones, a class of broad-spectrum antibiotics commonly used in veterinary medicine, is critical for ensuring the safety and quality of aquaculture products. Compliance with international standards such as ISO 28076 not only safeguards consumer health but also ensures that producers meet regulatory requirements.

Fluoroquinolones can accumulate in aquatic species through therapeutic treatment or illegal use, posing potential risks to human health when consumed. This service employs advanced analytical techniques to detect these residues accurately and reliably, ensuring the integrity of your products.

The ISO 28076 standard specifies a comprehensive methodology for analyzing fluoroquinolones in various aquaculture products, including fish, crustaceans, mollusks, and aquatic plants. Our laboratory adheres strictly to this protocol, which includes:

  • Sample preparation involving homogenization and extraction methods.
  • Instrumentation utilizing liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for precise detection.
  • Validation through recovery tests and method performance checks.

This process ensures that the results are accurate, repeatable, and reliable. Our laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art LC-MS/MS instruments capable of achieving detection limits as low as 0.1 μg/kg, thereby ensuring compliance with stringent international standards.

The service scope encompasses not only routine testing but also custom validation studies for new product formulations or changes in treatment protocols. This allows us to tailor our services to meet the specific needs of your organization.

Our expertise extends beyond mere analysis; we provide comprehensive support, from initial consultation on best practices to detailed reporting and data interpretation. Our team of experts ensures that you receive not just results but actionable insights that can drive continuous improvement in your operations.
