AgriQ Laben, the Turkish AgriQ Laboratory in Antalya has reached its ISO 17025 accreditation for pesticides residues in fruits and vegetables (http://www.turkak.org.tr/pdf/AB0437T.pdf).
After its start mid 2008 AgriQ Laben has put in a lot of effort to create a fully equiped residue analyses laboratory in Antalya offering the same analytical methods as the accredited sister Laboratories in Netherlands and Spain. The aim of AgriQ Laben is to offer the same services at the same quality level as the best European residue laboratories can offer. With our GC MS/MS and LC MS/MS equipment we offer state of the art methods at low MRL levels. Our methods are fit for export control to the European Union as well as to the Russian Federation.
The accreditation and validation procedures of AgriQ are very strict and therefor it takes time to tune the method in such a way we can offer the same quality as customers would expect from any other AgriQ Laboratory, says Taner Erkaymaz, Technical Manager of AgriQ Laben. We are proud with this achievement and will continue to expand our accreditation and scope at affordable prices, similar to the other AgriQ Labs.
Next to a wide range of pesticide residues, nitrate and heavy metals and other contaminant analyses AgriQ Laben offers independent sampling as part of its service. This service is amongst other certificates exclusively offered for the MPS fruits and vegetables certificate and the Albert Hein Protocol.
