Methode update ERGO_01_A

Method Update

We are happy to announce you following update for our ergot alkaloid analysis method (ERGO_01_A),  starting of Tuesday, October 8, 2024. 

 

What is changing? 

Our current method reports six "coupled compounds" with a reporting limit (RL) of 2 µg/kg.

The updated method will now present results for the 12 individual compounds, with a lowered RL of 1 µg/kg.

 
Why this update benefits you:

By separating these coupled compounds into individual detections, you will gain deeper insights into possible ergot alkaloid presence in your samples.

 

Please note that there is no legislative impact from this update, as the regulations apply to the sum of the compounds.
