Veterinary medicine residues
CSL's veterinary medicine residue analysis service is designed to determine low level residues in complex matrices such as animal tissues, dairy products and, where raw materials are not available, processed foods and ready meals.
Our laboratory services ranges from rapid screening, through to full quantification and confirmation using the most up to date measurement technology such as optical biosensors and mass spectrometry. Commodity suites of analyses are available for red meat, poultry, seafood, dairy products, eggs, farmed fish and honey.
If required we can use our expertise in this area to work with you to establish the relevant veterinary drug risks for your specific product lines.
