QS Laboratory Performance Assessment Spring 2015

Dual success for AGROLAB laboratories!

 

The evaluation of the QS Fachgesellschaft Obst-Gemüse-Kartoffeln GmbH laboratory comparison test for accredited laboratories recognised by QS has just been published.

 

The AGROLABGROUP  laboratories LUFA-ITL GmbH and AGROLAB Polska Sp. z.o.o. were both successful and once again had their proficiency confirmed in the competition with a total of 60 entrants.

 

This time a red paprika purée contaminated with pesticides was sent to each of the participating laboratories as sample material. The laboratories were tasked with finding the unknown active agents and correctly quantifying at least 5 out of 7 (sample A) or 4 out of 6 (sample B) active agents.

 

Giving a false negative or false positive finding would have meant the test was failed.

 

In the ring trial samples they tested, which were incorporated in their laboratory routine, our two laboratories correctly identified and precisely quantified all seven/six active agents.

We and our laboratory teams in Deblin and Kiel are delighted by this recent success.
