ISO 55814 Fluoroquinolone Profiling in Herbal Infusions
The ISO 55814 standard provides a robust methodology for the identification and quantification of fluoroquinolones in herbal infusions. This service is particularly critical for ensuring compliance with international standards aimed at protecting public health by preventing the presence of veterinary drugs in food and feed products intended for human consumption.
Fluoroquinolones, a class of antibiotics widely used in animal husbandry, can find their way into plant-based ingredients through cross-contamination during cultivation or processing. The detection of these residues is essential to avoid potential health risks associated with the ingestion of contaminated products. This service ensures that herbal infusions are free from harmful veterinary drug residues by employing advanced analytical techniques.
The testing process involves several key steps, starting with sample preparation, followed by extraction and purification, and finally, the analysis using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with mass spectrometry (MS). The proficiency of this method lies in its ability to differentiate between similar compounds effectively, ensuring accurate quantification.
The service is designed for quality managers, compliance officers, R&D engineers, and procurement specialists who must ensure the safety and integrity of food products. By adhering to ISO 55814, laboratories can provide reliable data that supports regulatory requirements and customer trust.
