Our team has the knowledge and experience of not only the analysis of individual or groups of pesticides but also targeted pesticide testing specific to particular foods or crops. Tests include multi-residue screening by GC-MS/MS and LC-MS/MS covering in excess of 500 compounds.

We are also prepared to provide studies for agrochemicals and microbial pesticides under GLP to meet international requirements for regulatory purposes of toxicology, ecotoxicology, and physical chemistry.
