R & D Analytical Services - Quality and Excellence at their Best - An Independent Lab You Can Trust!
Honey , Beeswax, Bee Pollen and other Honey Bee Products Residue Analysis
|
Analysis of honey samples for Chloramphenicol, Fluoroquinolones, Nitrofurans, Sulfonamides and other antibiotics are done using LC/MS/MS at ppb levels. The FDA has set a tolerance for coumaphos in honey of 100 ppb. Any residue of coumaphos present in honey at or above 100 ppb is considered to be an adulteration of the product and misuse of the pesticide. The coumaphos method is an LC/MS/MS procedure developed by ADPEN in cooperation with the USDA and the pesticide manufacturer. This method is used as an FDA enforcement method and has a limit of quantitation of 10 ppb. Proper product quality control of honey should also include batch analysis for residues of coumaphos. ADPEN as an independent R&D laboratory provides analysis of pesticide residue samples, analysis of raw materials, identification of impurities and contaminants. Confirmation and identification by LC/MS or GC/MS. Standard turnaround 7 business days. Call for competitive pricing information and turnaround information. ADPEN has developed and validated methods for the analysis and EPA registration of pesticides in honey and wax. Are you testing your honey for unlawful use of pesticides or miticides? The bees are in danger of extinction and one third of the food supply could be lost. Read why this is happening in the publications of the APIS Newsletter from the University of Florida. ADPEN operates under FDA, EPA, OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development), GLP and cGMP guidelines. ADPEN state-of-the-art instrumentation include LC/MS, LC/MS/MS, HPLC, CE, CEC, GC, and GC/MS. For more information call: 1(904)645-9169 or send e-mail to beehoney@ADPEN.com
