Test Description

Animal products for human consumption are tightly legislated and closely monitored for compliance. Fapas quality control materials are therefore important to ensure your testing measures are fit for purpose across a range of testing environments throughout the year. These are especially useful when used in conjunction with Fapas proficiency testing activities.

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 limit with any detection classed as non-compliant. The Fapas quality control 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 quality control materials include incurred residues as well as fortified animal products. The quality control materials are grouped in analytical chemical class/matrix combinations and combine identification and quantification. The quality control materials are suitable for all methods, including screening methods (for the detection of total amount of that chemical class).

Tetracyclines are broad spectrum antibiotics often used to treat skin, chest, urethral and pelvic infections in a wide variety of food-producing animals. Concern about the possible occurrence of residues of this drug in human food has produced a need for analytical methods to monitor for this agent at trace residue levels.

Pork accounts for a large amount of meat consumed globally, as such it can be difficult to ensure only high quality, safe produce is offered to the consumer. Your effective testing measures are therefore important to ensure the safety of a range of consumers.

Fapas quality control measures are ideal for removing potential bias from your testing practices. This can be achieved through a range of staff training activities among other techniques to maintain accurate testing. Through the use of real food matrices, any potential areas of improvement are immediately relevant and comparable to your existing testing practices, to ensure your customers receive the high-quality testing they require.
