Veterinary Drugs Edition
Food Safety Webinar Series: When Food Meets the Lab
Food testing in the region still revolves around “legacy” contaminants that decide release, rejection, and recall discussions - veterinary drug residues, pesticide residues and fumigants, and toxic elements including species-sensitive forms, in different food matrices. This 3-part series is built for audiences where regulatory expectations reference Codex-based frameworks, country-specific legislative guidelines, and import/export-market requirements that influence testing scope, reporting limits, and confirmation criteria. Each webinar focuses on the analytical factors that drive outcomes: matrix effects and co-extractives, trace-level quantitation, transition/ion-ratio checks, interference control, and reportable result logic.
Keynote expert speakers will set the regulatory context, give a glimpse of the current trends, and future implications. Agilent workflow segments map these needs to sample preparation nuances, LC-MS/MS for multi-class residues, GC-MS/MS and headspace GC for residue/fumigant markers, and ICP-MS plus LC-ICP-MS for heavy metals and speciation, including QC structures and data review patterns used in high-throughput labs, to name a few.

Part 1: Veterinary Drugs Edition
Veterinary drug residue monitoring increasingly demands broad coverage across classes (β-lactams, sulfonamides, tetracyclines, quinolones, macrolides, nitroimidazoles, chloramphenicol-type compounds and others) at low reporting levels in seafood, dairy and meat matrices. Regulatory context spans Codex-oriented residue frameworks and national controls such as residue provisions under EU and FSSAI, with additional buyer-driven lists and decision rules influencing what labs must report. This session also focuses on the LC-MS/MS methods for multi-class screening and confirmation.
