Pharmaceutical and Veterinary Residue Reference Materials

Pharmaceutical and veterinary residues derive from sources such as human medicines and animal feed additives, and can be found in both food and the environment as drug compounds or their metabolites. Although they are essential to human and animal health, the use of such medicines also brings risks - including the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and the potential for toxic drug residues to contaminate food supplies.

This means that numerous regulations that stipulate maximum residue limits and zero tolerances for drug residues are in force worldwide. This in turn obliges importers, exporters, buyers, and regulatory bodies to continually test food and water supplies for the presence and concentration of human and veterinary drug residues and metabolites.

We offer a range of several thousand high-quality reference materials for pharmaceutical and veterinary compound testing, and quality control. These are available in an array of formats, including labelled compounds and many mixtures, such as our PharmaVetResiMix Smart Solutions™ kit.
