Food and Beverages

Selected EnviroLogix assays have been designed specifically for use in detecting pesticide residues in foods. The kits targeted for foods include several of the more commonly used fungicides and insecticides and the Broad Screen Cholinesterase and Organochlorines assays.


Fruits and vegetables are frequently treated with pesticides during the growing season and specifically with fungicides to protect them during storage and shipment. Some EnviroLogix kits were developed in conjunction with the Commonwealth Science and Industry Research Organization (Australia), the Grape and Wine Research and Development (Australia) and the Dried Fruits Research and Development Council of Australia. Thousands of successful assays have been run with samples of dried tree fruits (such as pears, peaches and apricots) and dried vine fruits (such as raisins and sultanas), as well as wine and juices.


Specific suggestions for running these kits are contained in Application Guides which are available by fax or for inclusion with your order.


Other kits which may have been designed initially for water or soil samples may also be relevant for food residue testing. Please Contact us for Application Guides or to inquire about new Assay Development.
