Blank Material
This round cannot be purchased on its own, it is only available in conjunction with the similarly numbered pesticide residue round.
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 wheat flour to ensure only high quality test results are offered to consumers.
To ensure a high quality crop, suppliers regularly use pesticides to reduce disease and pests within their crop. Through good farming practises the levels of pesticides passed to the consumer is low and manageable below safe levels. Suppliers may not always be utilising good farming practise, so it is important to ensure high quality testing to identify any high levels of various pesticides being passed to consumers.
Maize is used within a large amount of foodstuffs, through its many forms and as an ingredient in many processed foods. As such effective testing measures can have a real impact in reducing any low quality maize products being added into consumer foodstuffs, maintaining global maize food safety.
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.
