ISO 60422 Macrolide Residue Profiling in Dairy Powders
The ISO 60422 standard provides a robust framework for detecting and quantifying macrolide residues in dairy powders. This service is crucial for ensuring food safety, particularly in the context of veterinary drug residue testing. Macrolides are a class of antibiotics commonly used to treat bacterial infections in livestock. Their presence in final products can pose significant health risks if not adequately controlled.
Dairy powders have become increasingly popular due to their convenience and extended shelf life. However, the processing involved in creating these powders can lead to macrolide residues persisting beyond the recommended withdrawal periods. This is where ISO 60422 comes into play, ensuring that these residues are detected at levels well below those of concern.
The methodology outlined in ISO 60422 involves several critical steps: sample collection, extraction, clean-up, and analysis using validated high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) techniques. This ensures accurate quantification of macrolide residues down to the lowest detectable limits specified by regulatory authorities.
Our laboratory adheres strictly to this protocol, ensuring that every test conducted is not only compliant with ISO 60422 but also meets or exceeds international standards for food safety and quality. By choosing our service, you can ensure that your products meet the highest levels of safety and compliance, thereby protecting public health and maintaining consumer trust.
The process begins with meticulous sample collection from dairy powders, followed by a thorough extraction step using appropriate solvents designed to capture all forms of macrolide residues. Post-extraction, the samples undergo a clean-up procedure to remove matrix components that could interfere with subsequent analysis.
Following this, HPLC is employed for precise separation and quantification of macrolides present in the sample. This technique allows us to identify specific subtypes within the macrolide class, providing detailed profiles of residues detected. The results are then interpreted according to established limits set forth by regulatory bodies.
Our team of experts ensures that each step adheres strictly to ISO 60422 guidelines, ensuring accuracy and reliability in every test conducted. This commitment to quality is reflected not only in our adherence to standards but also in the comprehensive reporting we provide after completing tests.
The findings from these analyses are communicated clearly through detailed reports that outline all detected residues along with their concentrations. These reports serve as valuable tools for quality managers, compliance officers, R&D engineers, and procurement teams responsible for maintaining stringent food safety protocols.
By offering this service, we aim to contribute significantly towards safeguarding public health by ensuring that dairy powders are free from harmful levels of macrolide residues. Our expertise in this area makes us a trusted partner for industries relying on rigorous testing procedures to maintain product integrity and regulatory compliance.
Scope and Methodology
The scope of the ISO 60422 Macrolide Residue Profiling in Dairy Powders service encompasses a comprehensive approach aimed at detecting and quantifying macrolide residues within dairy powders. This includes identifying various types of macrolides that may be present as a result of their use in livestock, which can transfer into final products.
The methodology employed follows the stringent requirements outlined in ISO 60422, ensuring accuracy and consistency across all tests conducted. The process starts with precise sample collection from dairy powders, followed by extraction using solvents designed to capture even trace amounts of residues.
Following extraction, a clean-up procedure is implemented to remove any interfering matrix components that could affect the analysis. Finally, HPLC technology is utilized for separating and quantifying macrolides present in the sample. This approach allows us to provide detailed profiles of detected residues, including specific subtypes within the macrolide class.
The results from these analyses are communicated through comprehensive reports detailing all identified residues along with their concentrations. These reports serve as essential tools for various stakeholders involved in maintaining strict food safety protocols.
Our laboratory’s adherence to ISO 60422 ensures that every test conducted meets or exceeds international standards for food safety and quality. By choosing our service, you can be confident knowing your products adhere strictly to these stringent requirements.
