Multi-residue Pesticides Analysis
Concern over pesticides residues in our food supply continues to be a concern for consumers and government agencies both here at home and around the world. Pacific Agricultural Laboratory has been serving clients with high quality legally defensible analytical data since 1996. Demand for multi-residue pesticides analysis for growers and processors continues to grow as audit requirements for both domestic and export markets increases. In the United States, Maximum Residue Level (MRL) tolerances are established for specific commodities by the USEPA and enforced by the FDA. Abroad, MRLs are established by country and by region (Eurogap and European Union are examples). Pacific Agricultural Laboratory is ready to provide the highest quality MRL screening available.
Pacific Agricultural Laboratory uses the AOAC Official Method 2007.01 (Quechers Method) as the primary reference for pesticides analysis in fruits, vegetables, food products and agricultural commodities. Analysis is conducted employing GC-MS/MS and LC-MS/MS analysis. Profiles are designed to meet maximum residue levels (MRLs) established for both domestic and foreign MRL requirements whenever possible.
All pesticides profiles are covered under our ISO17025:2005 scope of accreditation, assuring customers the highest level of quality in all aspects of laboratory operations.
