Residue and persistence studies

Delivering accurate data, regulatory confidence, and trusted expertise

At Eurofins Agroscience Services India, we bring decades of proven experience in conducting residue and persistence studies across diverse matrices including plants, plant products, soil, and water. Our capabilities are continuously enhanced by cutting-edge, highly sensitive analytical technologies ensuring you receive precise and reliable results tailored to your regulatory and research needs.

Whether you require studies conducted in accordance with GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) or non-GLP testing, we deliver solutions that align perfectly with your project objectives and compliance standards.

Our residue and persistence testing services include: 

  • Residue studies
    Conducted on a broad range of matrices such as crops, harvested plant products, soil, and water to satisfy regulatory guidelines and support product registrations.
  • Persistence studies
    Designed to determine the degradation and longevity of chemicals in plant systems (field), soil (field and laboratory), and water (laboratory), helping to understand environmental impact and safety.
  • Field trials and sample analysis
    We conduct residue field trials under GAP (Good Agricultural Practices), followed by rigorous sample analysis under GLP conditions, ensuring data integrity and regulatory acceptance.
  • Analytical method development and validation
    Our expert team develops and validates robust GLP analytical methods tailored to your specific compound and matrix requirements.

State-of-the-art infrastructure

  • Dedicated laboratories optimised for low-level residue detection to prevent cross-contamination

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the difference between residue and persistence studies?

Expand_img

Residue studies focus on quantifying the amount of chemical residues remaining in crops, soil, or water after application. Persistence studies evaluate how long those chemicals or their metabolites remain before breaking down.

Do you offer GLP-compliant residue and persistence studies?

Expand_img

Yes, we provide both GLP and non-GLP studies depending on your regulatory needs and project specifications.

What types of samples can you analyse for residues?

Expand_img

We analyse a wide range of matrices, including plants, harvested plant products, soil, and water, ensuring comprehensive coverage for regulatory dossiers.

How sensitive are your analytical methods?

Expand_img

Our state-of-the-art GC-MS/MS, LC-MS/MS, and ICP-MS systems enable detection of residues at ultra-trace levels, well below regulatory thresholds.

Can Eurofins Agroscience Services India conduct residue field trials as well?

Expand_img

Absolutely. We conduct residue field trials following GAP and perform subsequent sample analysis under GLP to ensure data quality and regulatory compliance.
