Test Description

Parsley is a well-known and widely used herb, as such large and complex supply chains have grown to meet demand. It is important to highlight areas of poor production practices, and large amounts of pesticide usage which may affect the quality of the produce offered to consumers.  

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 required to satisfy both your customers and regulators of your testing capabilities.

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 adjoining proficiency test contains a comprehensive range of chlorate based pesticides and requires identification and quantification of the analytes. Through this proficiency test your testing capabilities can be benchmarked across a range of chlorate residue analytes to form a basis of testing improvement across a large number of matrices.

The Fapas pesticide residues Proficiency Tests are based on the EU monitoring list and associated Maximum Residue Limits (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.

Overall legislation for pesticide residues continues to challenge laboratories' testing abilities across a large number of residues, forcing laboratories to use flexible, innovative methods from which to provide effective, accurate testing.
