We perform tests on crop chemicals at ANACON Laboratories to make sure that the chemicals are of the greatest quality and beneficial to the farmers who use them in cultivation.

The process for analyzing pesticide residues typically involves extracting the residues, clean-up procedures to remove other components, and an analytical procedure to identify and measure the amount of pesticide residue. We create the best results by reproducible conditions and the use of high quality reference standards. At ANAOCON lab two methods are followed in order to test those chemicals.

• Gas Chromatography – Mass Spectrometry Coupled (GC-MS), especially for volatile compounds in complex samples
• Liquid Chromatography – Mass Spectrometry Coupled (LC-MS), suitable for non-volatile compounds (thermally unstable molecules
