Screening laboratory
- In the screening laboratory, foodstuffs are screened for the presence of bacteria growth-inhibiting substances (mainly antibiotics and chemotherapeutics) using microbiological inhibitor tests. Foodstuffs are also screened using immunological, Charm II, and receptor tests for the presence of residues of ß-lactam antibiotics (penicillins and cephalosporins), tetracyclines, sulfonamides, streptomycins, macrolides & lincosamides, quinolones, chloramphenicol, etc. Finally, the laboratory also has screening tests to detect aflatoxin M1 and melamine in milk.
- The screening laboratory can also validate commercial screening tests for the detection of antibiotic residues in milk, honey, meat, etc., and mycotoxins in accordance with Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/808 and the EURL Guidelines and ISO/IDF Guidelines for the validation of screening methods for residues of veterinary medicinal products.
