Residue analyzes for Food / Feed
Residue testing determines the levels of undesirable substances in food. Residues in food may derive from pesticides, veterinary drugs, heavy metals, chemicals such as mycotoxins and other factors.
At QACSFOOD we provide food residue testing using state-of-the-art analytical equipment. We have a significant number of modern analytical devices per technique such as liquid chromatography (HPLC, LC-MSMS), gas chromatography (GC, GC-MS, GC-MSMS), modern spectroscopy techniques (AAS, ICP-MS, ICP-OES FT-IR) , a number of specialized devices and modern information systems (LIMS) to manage the integrity of analytical data.
