Pesticide Metabolites Residue Testing
Understanding pesticide residues in crops is crucial to ensure food safety and compliance with international standards. Pesticide metabolites are chemical compounds that result from the breakdown of pesticides used in agriculture. These residues can affect not only human health but also the environment, making their detection and quantification essential for regulatory compliance.
In recent years, there has been increasing concern about the presence of pesticide metabolites in crops due to their potential toxicity and persistence in the environment. The testing of these residues is therefore a critical aspect of ensuring food safety and environmental protection. This service provides detailed analysis to detect and quantify various pesticide metabolites present in agricultural produce.
The methodology for detecting pesticide metabolites involves several steps, including sample preparation, extraction, purification, and final analysis using advanced analytical instruments such as Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS). LC-MS technology is particularly effective because it allows for precise identification and quantification of even trace amounts of these compounds.
Our laboratory adheres to international standards like ISO 17025, ensuring that all tests are conducted under controlled conditions and meet the highest quality assurance criteria. This commitment ensures accurate and reliable results that can be trusted by stakeholders across various sectors including agriculture, food processing, and regulatory bodies.
