Blank Material (tetracyclines)
This round cannot be purchased on its own, it is only available in conjunction with the similarly numbered vet. drug residue round.
Tetracyclines in animal products are used to treat a number of bacterial infections in multiple different instances. They are therefore invaluable when improving yields in both quality and quantity of stock. When improving yields good farming practices must be employed, where the maximum benefits can be utilised with issues being controlled effectively.
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. 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).
Within the adjoining proficiency test individual tetracyclines are the focus but 'total tetracyclines' is also included for the benefit of participants using ELISA test kits.
