Fruit and Vegetable Testing Services
Testing fruit & vegetables for residues or nutritional information Our Food & Bioanalytical Division has a specialist pesticide residue laboratory that focuses on the testing of a wide variety of fruit and vegetable sample types plus a range of other food products. We use GC-ECD/NPD, GC-MS, HPLC and LC-MSMS instrumentation to carry out residue analyses, which helps growers and exporters ensure they can meet maximum residues limits (MRL's) - these are set by purchasing companies, supermarket chains, government agencies or importing countries, not by the laboratory, so if you need to meet certain market access requirements, please ensure you know what these are (including detection limits if applicable) before contacting the lab to arrange testing.
General Agriculture Soil Testing
