Pesticide analysis
For the analysis of pesticides in food and complex matrices, we offer screening with 600-700 components as well as the targeted analysis of selected substances within the framework of individual methods.
Our new innovative, accredited methods enable our highly qualified staff to process orders on time and to a high standard of quality.
The maximum levels of pesticides in food and feed are regulated by law (EU 396/2005) and are subject to the strictest controls. We offer comprehensive analyses both as multi-methods and single methods of around 900 active substances and metabolites.
