Milk Powder forms a large part of the nutritional intake of an infant's diet as well as being a key ingredient of many processed foodstuffs.
Sulfonamides make up a significant proportion of veterinary medicines, and as such effectiveness of detection and quantification is key to promote safe foodstuffs for consumption. With a non-targeted detection method needed, key challenges of laboratory testing abilities can be made using proficiency testing to effectively evaluate your capabilities in a simulated environment.
Nitrofurans are antimicrobial agents which are not authorised for use in food-producing animals in the EU. They are quickly metabolised from the parent compounds in vivo.
Veterinary medicines used in animals have a wide range of effects in humans. Hence, many veterinary medicines have extremely low maximum residue limits (MRLs) or even no limit, where any detection is classed as non-compliant. The Fapas proficiency testing (PT) materials are produced in keeping with EU MRLs or minimum required performance limit (MRPL) where MRLs are not set.
Through Fapas proficiency testing activities real food matrices can be utilised from which to ensure only high quality testing arrangements can be used for your routine analysis activities. This can ensure only high quality test results are offered to your customers and regulators, safeguarding your reputation for credible, repeatable test results.
