Agrochemical and Pesticide Analytical Method Development

We have extensive experience working with a wide spectrum of agrochemicals in a range of matrices. Pesticide analysis methods have been developed in soils, edible crops, edible animal commodities, toxicological samples, and from worker exposure studies like clothing, urine, or dislodgeable foliar residues.

We have extensive experience in working with clients to provide pesticide analysis methods that suit individual needs and timelines. You can trust us to:

  • Transfer existing methodology or develop a method from first principles to suit your needs
  • Optimize chromatographic parameters and test formulation stability
  • Optimize extraction techniques and chromatographic parameters

Pesticide Analytical Method Validation and Stability

  • Validate according to appropriate guidelines including SANTE/SANCO
  • Validate formulation procedure alongside the analytical procedure to assess formulation accuracy and homogeneity
  • Determine formulation stability under different storage conditions
  • Determine compound stability under frozen storage conditions in accordance with OECD TG506 and OPPTS 860.1380 to support field sample programs
  • Conduct Inter-Laboratory Validations (ILV’s) to fulfil the regulatory requirement to have primary monitoring methods verified at an independent laboratory

In-house Agrochemical and Pesticide Analysis Methods

  • Use validated pesticide testing methods to support the routine analysis from toxicology, ecotoxicology, and residues programs
  • Formulation, bioanalysis, and residue chemistry
  • Providing high quality data for seamless agrochemical analysis solutions

With ongoing investment in new platforms, we are always looking to improve and expand our capabilities for pesticide testing methods.

Platforms include:

  • Waters Acquity UPLC with the following detectors
    • UV
    • QDa MS
    • ELSD
    • Fluorescence
  • LC-MS/MS Systems consisting of:
    • Shimadzu UPLC (LC-30/LC40)
    • SCIEX 4000, 5000 and 6500 Mass Spectrometers
    • SelexION differential mobility separation sources
  • Agilent 7890 GC-FID, ECD (with Headspace capability)
  • Shimadzu TQ8040 GC-MS/MS (with EI and CI capability)
  • UV Spectrophotometry
