Southeast Farm Press features AVAZYME, Inc. in their May 4, 2016 issue. This article focuses on one of the most important Market Segments that Avazyme serves, successfully bridging the gap between food production and consumers’ safety.
As new and more sophisticated pesticides, plant protection, and plant health products are being introduced into the market, farmers can call on us to help them be on top of the latest and best ways to ensure that their crops and harvested products do not contain unacceptable levels of pesticide residues or mycotoxins. We can test for the new as well as the older crop protection products, including certain metabolites of potential concern, which is critical for achieving transparency and improvement of safe and nutritious food, and compliance with national and international maximum residue levels (MRLs).
Our specialists, at Avazyme, can help farmers and food producers assure the highest quality and safety of their valuable crops, ensuring that their fresh fruits and vegetables do not contain certain pathogens or toxins that could make us sick. Through contaminant and mass spectrometry analysis, molecular biology, or microbiology testing, Avazyme can accurately tell our food producers what their actual pesticide and mycotoxin residue levels are. Our new advanced state-of- the-art Shimadzu UHPLC-MS/MS 8050 Mass Spectrometer delivers ultrafast, reliable, and accurate quantitation and quantification of multiple pesticides, using what has now become the preferred technique for detection and quantitation of trace pesticide residues and natural toxins. Furthermore, at Avazyme we can test your crops for nutritional contents and composition, as well as other quality parameters, e.g., alpha- and beta acid amounts and composition and other flavor and aroma components in hops. We offer reliable customized solutions tailored to fit the specific needs of our clients and the fastest= turnaround times from sampling to results.
