Residue and contaminant analysis

To discuss your needs

Residue analysis

Residue analysis in a food context is the analysis of contaminants or pesticide residues in a product. Different residues will be analysed by different techniques. Foods can often become contaminated with chemicals that should not be present. These may arise from the growing environment (the soil or the air) or from processing or packaging. We can help you through the maze of possibilities and determine what is present and whether levels are of concern.

We can also offer advice on the origin of the contamination and what can be done to prevent it. Contact us for contaminant analysis and advice on:
