ISO 71744 Hormone Residue Profiling in Dairy-Based Drinks
The ISO 71744 standard provides a robust framework for quantifying hormone residues, specifically those of estrone-17ß-acetate (E17AA), estrone-3-glucuronide (E17G), and estradiol-17-glucuronide (E217G) in dairy-based drinks. This service is crucial for ensuring the safety and quality of dairy products, especially those targeted at vulnerable populations such as infants and young children.
The standard outlines a series of analytical procedures designed to detect and quantify these hormones, which can have significant health implications if present in excessive amounts. Compliance with this standard ensures that manufacturers adhere to stringent international regulations aimed at protecting public health.
Our laboratory employs state-of-the-art instrumentation such as Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), which are capable of achieving the ultra-low detection limits required for this service. The process involves a rigorous sample preparation protocol that includes extraction, cleanup, and derivatization steps to enhance sensitivity.
The acceptance criteria for this test are based on the specified upper limit concentrations as defined by ISO 71744. Any results exceeding these limits indicate potential contamination, necessitating further investigation into the manufacturing process or sourcing of raw materials. This service is particularly important for companies engaged in quality assurance and regulatory compliance.
Our expertise extends to understanding the nuances of dairy-based drinks, including the complex matrix effects that can influence the accuracy of hormone residue detection. We provide comprehensive reports detailing our findings, along with recommendations for corrective actions if necessary. This service not only ensures product safety but also supports the overall integrity of the supply chain.
Our team of experienced scientists and engineers is dedicated to delivering accurate, reliable results in a timely manner. We strive to exceed expectations by providing detailed insights into potential contamination sources and offering strategic guidance for future product development.
