Our Residue and Persistence Testing Services
  • Residue Studies
    Conducted on a broad range of matrices such as crops, harvested plant products, soil, and water to satisfy regulatory guidelines and support product registrations.
  • Persistence Studies
    Designed to determine the degradation and longevity of chemicals in plant systems (field), soil (field and laboratory), and water (laboratory), helping to understand environmental impact and safety.
  • Field Trials & Sample Analysis
    We conduct residue field trials under Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), followed by rigorous sample analysis under GLP conditions, ensuring data integrity and regulatory acceptance.
  • Analytical Method Development & Validation
    Our expert team develops and validates robust GLP analytical methods tailored to your specific compound and matrix requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the difference between residue and persistence studies?

Residue studies focus on quantifying the amount of chemical residues remaining in crops, soil, or water after application. Persistence studies evaluate how long those chemicals or their metabolites remain before breaking down.

Do you offer GLP-compliant residue and persistence studies?

Yes, we provide both GLP and Non-GLP studies depending on your regulatory needs and project specifications.

What types of samples can you analyze for residues?

We analyze a wide range of matrices, including plants, harvested plant products, soil, and water, ensuring comprehensive coverage for regulatory dossiers.

How sensitive are your analytical methods?

Our state-of-the-art GC-MS/MS, LC-MS/MS, and ICP-MS systems enable detection of residues at ultra-trace levels, well below regulatory thresholds.

Can Eurofins Advinus conduct residue field trials as well?

Absolutely. We conduct residue field trials following Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) and perform subsequent sample analysis under GLP to ensure data quality and regulatory compliance.
