Pesticide Residues and Environmental Contaminants - Methods Development & Chemical Analyses
Cornell Analytical Laboratories operate in compliance with Good Laboratory Practices and offer extensive analysis and methods development capabilities. Commodity Processing and Chemical Residue Analyses
Pesticide residues in processed food products can be determined after pilot scale production performed under GLPs.
- Quality Assurance oversight to all phases of sample receipt, processing and analyses.
- Methods development for specific commodities or matrices employing EPA-specified procedures or original studies.
