ISO 39572 Antibiotic Residue Profiling in Meat-Based Foods
The ISO 39572 standard provides a comprehensive framework for the analysis of antibiotic residues in meat-based foods. This service is crucial for ensuring product safety, compliance with regulations, and maintaining consumer trust. The protocol ensures accurate detection of antibiotic residues through advanced analytical techniques that provide precise quantification.
Our laboratory adheres strictly to ISO 39572 guidelines which involve several key steps: sample preparation, extraction, clean-up, and analysis using liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The method is highly sensitive and specific, ensuring reliable results even at trace levels of antibiotic residues.
The importance of this service cannot be overstated. Regulatory agencies around the world have implemented stringent regulations to control the use of antibiotics in livestock farming due to concerns about antimicrobial resistance and public health implications. Compliance with these regulations not only protects consumers but also ensures that producers operate within legal boundaries.
Our laboratory has extensive experience in this area, offering a full range of services from initial consultation on best practices for antibiotic usage to post-harvest testing of meat products. We use state-of-the-art equipment and methodologies to ensure accurate results every time. Our team of experts is well-versed in the nuances of ISO 39572 and can provide tailored solutions based on your specific needs.
The process begins with proper sample collection, which involves minimizing cross-contamination and ensuring representative samples. After collection, samples undergo thorough preparation including homogenization followed by extraction techniques that effectively remove potential interferences. The extract is then cleaned up using solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridges to eliminate matrix components prior to analysis.
LC-MS/MS technology provides unparalleled sensitivity allowing us to detect even minute amounts of antibiotics in meat-based foods. This advanced instrumentation enables precise identification and quantification of various classes of antibiotics including beta-lactams, tetracyclines, macrolides, fluoroquinolones among others. The method also allows for the simultaneous determination of multiple analytes from a single sample.
Results are reported according to ISO 39572 specifications which include detailed information on the identity and concentration of each detected antibiotic residue. Reporting timelines vary depending upon complexity but typically range between three days to one week. We offer flexible turnaround times tailored to meet your schedule, whether you need rapid response or prefer longer lead times for more complex analyses.

Environmental and Sustainability Contributions
The ISO 39572 Antibiotic Residue Profiling service plays an important role in promoting environmental sustainability within the food industry. By accurately detecting antibiotic residues, this service helps prevent unnecessary contamination of soil, water bodies, and air.
Antibiotics used in livestock farming can leach into surrounding environments through manure application or runoff during rainfall events. If not properly managed, these residues pose significant risks to ecosystems and human health. Our laboratory's proficiency in ISO 39572 Antibiotic Residue Profiling ensures that producers are aware of any potential contamination issues early on.
By identifying antibiotic residues promptly, our service enables farmers and processors to take corrective actions such as adjusting dosing schedules or implementing improved handling practices. These measures not only reduce environmental impact but also contribute positively towards sustainable agricultural practices.
In addition to preventing pollution, accurate detection of antibiotic residues through ISO 39572 Antibiotic Residue Profiling promotes responsible use of antibiotics in food production. Overuse or misuse can lead to the development of resistant strains which are difficult to treat effectively. By adhering to strict guidelines like those outlined in ISO 39572, producers can ensure that antibiotics are used only when absolutely necessary and at appropriate dosages.
The use of advanced analytical techniques such as LC-MS/MS allows us to detect even trace amounts of antibiotics in meat-based foods. This high level of precision helps minimize the risk of overuse while maintaining product safety. Our services support a balanced approach that prioritizes both environmental protection and public health.
Our laboratory's dedication to ISO 39572 Antibiotic Residue Profiling contributes significantly to the broader goal of sustainability within the food industry.
