QS replaces “4-dish inhibitor test” with quantitative analysis by LC MS/MS for antibiotic active substances.

: Published: 24 June 2020

AGROLAB is one of the first feed laboratories in Germany to meet the new requirements in the field of QS feed monitoring. The analysis is carried out in the specialized feed laboratory AGROLAB LUFA GmbH in Kiel.

As of 30.06.2020, QS (Qualität und Sicherheit GmbH) will cancel the “4-dish inhibitor test” for the examination of antibiotic active substances as an approved method within the framework of feed monitoring (Annex 8.2 Table of Limit-/QS Guidance Values). This will be replaced by the quantitative analysis by LC MS/MS on 01.07.2020. In the course of this, QS will also extend the list of antibiotics and coccidiostats to be tested.

As a leading feed laboratory, AGROLAB LUFA GmbH will of course continue to meet the requirements of QS. For this reason, from 01.07.2020 we will be offering you analysis packages specially tailored to QS requirements for the testing of antibiotic active substances. With our high-quality analysis and our competent individual customer service, the AGROLAB GROUP will remain your ideal partner for QS certification in the future.

Please contact your personal sales representative in the AGROLAB GROUP to order tests for antibiotic active substances or other relevant QS parameters.
