Test Description

Fipronil is an insecticide which is used across a range of domestic animals to prevent fleas and ticks but is not approved for use on food-producing animals. The usage of Fipronil and other pesticides is strictly controlled by regulatory bodies, to ensure only safe foodstuffs are offered to consumers, without excessive levels of pesticide residues present in foodstuffs. As a result, regulatory (maximum residue) limits are enforced, which require accurate testing capabilities to ensure any positive results are valid and found using robust methods. Proficiency testing activities from Fapas can ensure that your testing ability continues to be fit for purpose and meet regulatory requirements.

Fipronil in eggs, and egg-based products, has become a key issue when discussing pesticides and insecticides within foods. This is due to the high-profile discovery of fipronil within eggs across the EU, leading to extensive product recalls and widespread public concern regarding the use of pest and insecticides within foods. Commercial egg-containing products continue to be withdrawn where the amount of implicated egg is more than 15%. Accurate detection of implicated egg at source is therefore still relevant and a priority for testing.

This blank material is made from the same source as the positive material. As such it provides the perfect match for your analysis, giving the same responses as seen in the positive material.

This blank material is ideal to ensure effective calibration curves are created. This can ensure only high-quality test results are found. Blank materials from Fapas are ideal for ensuring matrix matching takes place. By using blank materials as close to positive test samples as possible the matrix effect is dramatically reduced.

Blank materials from Fapas make use of real food matrices to provide the key insights into your routine testing abilities you require. These can be used to maintain the level of accuracy.
