Blank Material (synthetic hormones)
This round cannot be purchased on its own, it is only available in conjunction with the similarly numbered vet. drug residue round.
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.
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.
While the adjoining proficiency test looks at individual synthetic hormones we also include 'total synthetic hormones' for the benefit of participants using ELISA test kits.
Synthetic hormones within animal derived foodstuffs can have large implications on food safety and quality. As such they are highly regulated within many countries across the globe. With this large regulatory environment it is important to maintain accurate testing across a range of analytes and matrices. Fapas proficiency tests can aid your efforts in benchmarking your testing ability when detecting these potentially harmful compounds within foodstuffs.
Synthetic hormones are polarising in the public eye, and as such the results of potential detections within foodstuffs face extensive scrutiny from a wide range of industries. Utilising proficiency tests to benchmark your testing capabilities, credible results can be found with a track record of accurate testing across a range of synthetic hormones.
