About
pesticides
Due to your own practices or external factors, there may be pesticide residues on your food sample. To minimize exposure to these substances, permissible levels are regulated through maximum residue limits (MRLs).
To ensure that your products meet these strict standards, accurate and rapid analyses are necessary. Primoris has developed advanced methods that provide the highest level of security. Our services meet your needs, with reports available in less than a day for certain methods.
Pesticides
lab methods
With over 40 pesticide-testing methods, we cover more than 1.000 active compounds, ensuring thorough and reliable analysis. Our comprehensive reports offer detailed insights into current legislation and assist you in risk assessments.
Dithiocarbamates
A class of fungicides that have been widely used in agriculture. Get in touch to find out how we can exclude natural occurring CS2 from your result.
Ethylene Oxide
This controversial substance is not approved by the European Union but this carcinogenic pesticide is still to be found on many foods.
Phosphonic Acid
Is often found as a residue in food due to its use in agriculture. Phosphonic acid is among other things a degradation product of the fungicide fosteyl-aluminum, which is used to control various plant diseases.

About
contaminants
Contaminants are substances that can unintentionally enter in food during various stages of environmental exposure, storage, production, packaging, and transport. They can pose risks to both human and animal health, which is why regulatory maximum levels (MLs) are established to protect consumers.
While gaining more legal attention, think of elements and mycotoxins, new recommendations and limits are to be followed. Primoris monitors these developments closely. We provide methods for detecting both regulated and unregulated - yet relevant - contaminants.

To minimize risks and optimize capacity, we specialize in rapid contaminant testing. Keeping an eye on market challenges and legislation updates, our Development Team remains vigilant, continuously innovating and applying new methods.
Mineral Oil Hydrocarbons
Mineral oil hydrocarbons can enter food through various sources, including environmental contamination, machinery lubricants, release agents, processing aids, food additives, or migration from packaging
Mycotoxins
Mycotoxins are unpredictable contaminants found in food and feed around the world. Produced by fungi, they tend to appear in specific hotspots. Although over 300 different mycotoxins have been identified, six of them are consistently found in food and
Elements
Food can be contaminated by heavy metals, which can occur naturally in the environment or as a result of industrial activities. Common heavy metals include arsenic, lead, mercury, and cadmium, all of which can pose serious health risks if consumed in

About
microbiology, virology and GMOs
Microbiological analysis of food products is applied to control the microbiological quality of food (indicator organisms for spoilage and/or hygienic indicator organisms) or to assess food safety by detecting foodborne pathogens and/or their toxins.
The analysis of food for the presence of viruses such as Hepatitis A and Norovirus is essential for ensuring the safety of food products. These viruses can cause serious illnesses in humans, making it important to detect and eliminate them.
Screening for genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in food products is important to ensure their safety and compliance with regulatory requirements. This process involves the detection and identification of GMOs in various samples
Microbiology
