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 oats 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.

Oats make up a large amount of total cereal production globally. Food testing laboratories are challenged to highlight any low quality or unsafe foodstuffs within the global supply chain, this requires flexible and extensive testing abilities.

Oats are increasingly used within health foods, and as a good source of fibre as well as numerous nutrients. As such it is important to assure consumers of the safety and quality of oats as a foodstuff.

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.
