Test Description

This blank material is ideal to ensure effective calibration curves are created. This can ensure only high quality test results are found, and can be used to compare and contrast with the adjoining proficiency test for pesticides in bread to ensure only high quality test results are offered to consumers. 

Pesticide Residues are used extensively across a range of crops, especially cereals. These are used with the goal of maintaining high quality produce by controlling disease and pest impacts on crops. Through good farming practises levels of pesticide residues are usually low and under safe levels. Yet as farmers come under increasing pressure to satisfy growing demand for produce such as cereals, poor farming practises may increase levels of pesticide residues exposed to consumers. This must be controlled through the use of effective quality control measures.

Bread makes use of cereal ingredients during production. This can promote a risk of increased pesticide residues within this foodstuff, which can prove detrimental to both product quality and safety. As such your effective testing abilities are required to identify any high levels of pesticides in bread.

Through the use of blank materials within your proficiency tests the ease of comparison within your calibration curve is greatly improved. This can allow you to focus on the testing process itself, from which to highlight any areas of improvement which may be required.
