Test Description

Cucumbers are enjoyed globally, both as fresh produce and as an ingredient within many foodstuffs. As such it is important to highlight any poor quality or potentially unsafe foodstuffs quickly, to reduce its impact.

Pesticides are used extensively across the globe. They have effective yield improving qualities, but must be used properly to reduce any residues passed on to animals or consumers. This can often be the case due to their extensive benefits and therefore the short term gains that can be made.

Most countries now have an extensive monitoring scheme for pesticide residues written into their legislation. There are more than 1000 compounds used worldwide as pesticides or plant protection products. When used properly, according to good agricultural practice, any residues can be expected to be below maximum residue limits. The Fapas pesticide residues proficiency tests are based on the EU monitoring list and associated MRLs but are widely applicable to most geographic areas. We also base our statistical data analysis in keeping with quality assurance guidelines as laid out in EC SANTE/11945/2015.

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
