Animal products for human consumption are tightly legislated and closely monitored for compliance. Veterinary medicines used in animals are likely to have a pharmacological effect in humans. Hence, for many veterinary medicines, there are extremely low maximum residue limits or even no MRL (i.e. any detection is non-compliant). The Fapas proficiency test materials are produced in keeping with EU MRLs or minimum required performance limit (MRPL) where MRLs are not set. The result reporting requirements are also in keeping with quality control guidelines laid out in EC/657/2002. Fapas veterinary medicine proficiency test materials include incurred residues as well as fortified animal products. The proficiency tests are grouped in analytical chemical class/matrix combinations and combine identification and quantification. The proficiency tests are suitable for all methods, including screening methods (for the detection of total amount of that chemical class).
Your ability to identify and quantify Beta-lactams within bovine milk will be assessed within this proficiency test.
Milk is enjoyed globally in large quantities, this can put increasing pressure on producers to satisfy this large demand. Veterinary medicines, such as Beta-lactams, are ideal for managing and disease outbreaks within livestock, from which to safeguard produce and therefore financial reward.
It is imperative to highlight any high levels of veterinary medicine residues that could otherwise be passed to the consumer, causing potentially harmful effects. The highly accurate testing ability required to protect the consumers from tthese residues must be safeguarded through effective and well-designed quality assurance programmes.
Fapas proficiency tests can be used as part of a wider quality assurance programme, and can serve as the foundation from which to measure your return on investment across the medium to long term. This can allow you to highlight areas of improvement within your routine analysis activities, from which to ensure high quality testing activities are passed directly to your customers as well as satisfying regulator requirements.
