Testing for pesticides - Eurofins Scientific AG
Our pesticide analysis services
We offer specific pesticide screenings for all food, feed and food supplements. In most cases, these are GC-MS and LC-MS/MS methods. In addition to the screenings, there are other targeted tests, such as the ability to detect high molecular weight pesticides like glyphosate.
The selection process of the pesticides included in our multi-methods is based on the following criteria:
- Specific product groups
- Compendial methods
- Regulations (local, national and international)
- ISO 17025 accredited test methods
Therefore, our packages are ideal for customers marketing products in Switzerland and the EU.
Some of our analytical packages include multiple methods to test for contaminants in addition to pesticides. We can design our packages according to your needs and markets.
