This blank chicken muscle material is available to complement the proficiency test material for quinolones and fluoroquinolones analysis. The blank material ensures that fully matrix-matched calibrations can be constructed.
Individual quinolones and fluoroquinolones plus 'total quinolones' for the benefit of participants using ELISA test kits are addressed within the associated proficiency test.
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).
Chicken has a large amount of consumption worldwide. This can put a large amount of strain on global supply chains, as well as creating real challenges for food testing laboratories to highlight any low quality, or contaminated foodstuffs.
As such veterinary medicines are utilised regularly to prevent disease and maintain bee levels, in an effort to maintain honey stocks. These veterinary medicines can be passed on to the honey itself when poor farming practices are utilised such as excessive veterinary medicine usage. Effective testing is required to highlight these excessive levels within foodstuffs, from which to protect the end consumer.
Proficiency testing is a crucial tool from which to highlight and maintain the highly accurate testing ability required to fulfil customer needs and regulators requirements. Fapas proficiency tests make use of real food matrices, from which to maintain a high level of accuracy across your testing arrangement.
