Organic and Inorganic Residues and Contaminants

In addition to pesticide testing and dioxin testing Eurofins analyses for many other organic and inorganic contaminants and residues, including all of the following analytical parameters:

Organic contaminants

• Solvent residues (e.g. volatile chlorinated hydrocarbons)
• Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)
• Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)
• Plasticizers (phthalates, phosphates)
• Chlorinated phenols (PCPs)
• Perfumes / flavours with allergic potential
• Synthetic fragrances (e.g. musk compounds); preservatives
• 3-MCPD (3-Monochloropropane-1,2-diol) and 3-MCPD-Esters
• Acrylamide
• Sudan Red and related colours/dyes
• MPA (Medroxy progesterone acetate)
• Melamine and Cyanuric Acid
• Furan
• Benzene
• ITX

Inorganic contaminants / environmental analysis

• Metals (heavy, alkaline and alkaline-earth metals)
• Other chemical elements (e.g. phosphorus, sulphur, selenium)
• Nitrogen compounds (e.g. nitrate, nitrite)
• Halogen / inorganic salt compounds (e.g. iodine)
• Chemical oxygen demand (COD) / biological oxygen demand (BOD)
• Adsorbable organic halides (AOX)
