Improving the Efficiency of Pesticide Screening: Interview with Dr Stuart Adams, Fera Science Ltd

Dr Stuart Adams, a Senior Analytical Chemist at Fera Science Limited, explains how his laboratory analyzes over 100,000 samples per year for pesticides, veterinary medicines, mycotoxins and other contaminants. The lab uses a combination of routine analysis and high resolution LC-MS (liquid chromatography mass spectrometry) to screen samples for around 500 pesticides in a single test. Dr Adams describes how the laboratory is improving efficiency of screening by using both qualitative and quantitative information to report the correct result and by adopting automation technology.

 HorizonScan - Food Safety at your Fingertips | Fera Science

Fera has many years of experience in running GLP compliant tests to assess the risks posed by plant protection products to bees. We are active participants in many testing method working groups and ring tests (e.g. ICPPR non-apis working groups). This means that we are at the forefront of current bee testing. We also work closely with the National Bee Unit which gives us instant access to a range of resources to support our studies, including 150+ colonies of honey bees and a highly skilled beekeeping team. Please see below a selection of our capabilities – this is not an exhaustive list and we can adapt current test methods or use bespoke test design to meet your specific data requirements.

Introducing GelSpec - enabling lower detection limits with our more sensitive LC-MS/MS equipment which mean that gelatin speciation is now possible at even lower levels. This will<br/>help alleviate ethical concerns of the source of gelatin used in<br/>food manufacturing and pharmaceutical capsules to comestics and more.

Fera Science - Helen Grundy - Introducing GelSpec 

The Thomson Suite is one of the largest facilities of its kind in the UK. It is a bespoke laboratory running to GLP quality standards that houses 30 state-of-the-art mass spectrometry instruments. It was named in honour of Sir Joseph John Thomson (1856 - 1940), a British Nobel Prize winning physicist, whose 1913 experiments are credited with the invention of mass spectrometry.
