Veterinary Drug Residues Testing Information

Antibiotics are a group of chemicals that are widely used in animal husbandry primarily for protection of animals from disease but also as growth promoters. The European Union (EU) has set maximum residue limits (MRL) for a variety of antibiotics in animal tissues, milk and eggs; suitable methods are required to be capable of detecting these residues at regulated levels.  For quantitative analysis it is necessary to use instrumental techniques such as LC-MS/MS. This technique can also be used for screening, and provides much higher sensitivity and greater specificity.
