Pesticides

Analysis can be done on raw agricultural products, processed foods, plant tissues, spices, herbs, soils, water and many more matrices, for hundreds of pesticides, insecticides, fungicides, herbicides and acaricides. Whether you are looking for multi-residue screens or specific pesticide analysis, please let us know.

Panels:

CDFA: A combination on three different screens, Organochlorine/Pyrethroid Screen, Organonitrate/Organophosphate Screen, and Carbamate Screen. This grouping of tests can be requested as one single screen of your choice, two screens of your choice, or a full screen that includes all three. The CDFA Multi-Residue Screen covers over 150 common pesticides, insecticides, herbicides and fungicides. These screens follow the regulations and standards of the California Department of Food and Agriculture and meets or exceeds the Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) established in 40 CFR section 180.

FDA Import: The FDA currently screens for a variety of pesticides in imported foods at low detection levels, whether you are looking to test imported commodities prior to shipping, or seeking to avoid the Detention Without Examination program, the FDA Import Screen.

USP 561: This is a specific group of tests and compounds the FDA has determined to be of significant interest to products within the pharmacological industry. This list also contains specific Maximum Residue Levels appropriate to this industry.
