Further Investment Expands Eurofins’ Pesticide Residue Service

The two new gas chromatography (GC) triple quadruple mass spectrometers (MS/MS) will enable more samples to be analysed, to lower detection levels and with faster turnaround of results.

29 Oct 2012 --- Eurofins Food Testing UK Ltd., a testing business for the food and feed industries, has made significant investment in instrumentation for pesticide residues analysis in the Contaminants department based at its new state of the art laboratory in Wolverhampton.

The two new gas chromatography (GC) triple quadruple mass spectrometers (MS/MS) will enable more samples to be analysed, to lower detection levels and with faster turnaround of results.

This investment will enable Eurofins to continue to expand the number of pesticides analysed across a wider range of commodities. Over 430 actives are currently quantified in the pesticide multi-residue analysis suite, with the percentage of actives that are UKAS accredited now increased to 86%.
