Test Description

Animal products for human consumption are tightly legislated and closely monitored for compliance. Veterinary medicines used in animals are likely to have a pharmacological effect in humans. Hence, for many veterinary medicines, there are extremely low maximum residue limits or even no MRL (i.e. any detection is non-compliant). The FAPAS PT materials are produced in keeping with EU MRLs or minimum required performance limit (MRPL) where MRLs are not set. The result reporting requirements are also in keeping with quality control guidelines laid out in EC/657/2002. FAPAS veterinary medicine PT materials include incurred residues as well as fortified animal products. The PTs are grouped in analytical chemical class/matrix combinations and combine identification and quantification. The PTs are suitable for all methods, including screening methods (for the detection of total amount of that chemical class).

Individual nitrofuran metabolites plus 'total nitrofuran metabolites' for the benefit of participants using ELISA test kits are included within this quality control material.

Veterinary medicine residues must be controlled to mitigate any detrimental effects for those consumed in large quantities. Through poor farming practices, high levels of veterinary medicines residues can be passed to consumers, resulting in a high risk to consumers.

Through effective testing techniques, these risks can be mitigated, due to the management activities which can be undertaken as a result of the identification of veterinary medicines in foodstuffs.

Quality control materials are the perfect way to track your progress against a control. Utilising this as a quality control material can give an ideal platform from which to compare results across a range of operating conditions to track your changes over time. All with the goal of a long-term improved testing ability.

Fapas quality control materials can be used to validate whether a testing instrument or process is operating within pre-defined specifications. This validation process makes sure your test results are as close to the true value as possible, and therefore your testing process is as credible as it can be.
