To combat the abuse of drugs within the food production and animal racing industries, the use of high doses is strictly regulated. Randox Food Diagnostics provides reliable and cost-effective screening methods to monitor antimicrobials, growth promoting compounds and anthelmintics in meat products.
Multi-analyte screening
Our unique multi-analyte testing platform, the Evidence Investigator, allows for simultaneous detection of multiple residues from a single meat sample. Types of meat include beef, poultry and pork.
Benefits of multi-analyte screening:
- Higher throughput – 45 samples assessed in under two hours
- Cost savings – significant cost savings compared with LC/MS MS
- Meets regulations – conforms to all regulatory requirements; recently received USDA
- Extensive test menu – extensive array menu of antimicrobial, anthelmintic and growth promoter arrays
Arrays available:
- Antimicrobial Array I Plus
- Antimicrobial Array II
- Antimicrobial Array III
- Antimicrobial Array III CAP Only
- Zilpaterol
- Anthelmintics
- Coccidiostats
- Growth Promoter Multiple Matrix Screen
