Crop Method Development and Method Validation

EAG Laboratories offers agrosciences companies unparalleled expertise in analytical method development, validation and application of a broad range of methodologies. Services include:

• Analytical crop method development, adaptation, validation, refinement and transfer
• Method development and validation in support of characterization and determination of genetically-modified organisms in crops
• Method development and validation to determine the allergenicity profile of a crop protein of interest
• Development of chiral enantio-selective methods for batch/formulation and for residue analysis
• Development, analysis and support of radiolabeled substances (¹⁴C and ³H) for chemical and radiochemical purity and for the analysis of metabolites/degradates in environmental fate, plant and animal metabolism, human mass balance, and degradation studies
• Radiochemical validation and extraction efficiency, demonstrating equivalency of different extraction procedures, including hydrolysis and enzymatic deconjugation
• Analytical support in environmental toxicity non-target plant, insect, animal or avian studies, requiring analysis of residues in many matrices (e.g., water, soil, sediments, etc.), insects (including honey bees), earthworms, mammals, fish, birds, and vegetation (herbs, flower heads, grass, seeds, pollen, guttation sap, etc.)

If necessary methods can be tailored in order to address analytical challenges to specific complex matrices (e.g., plant tissue). With service lines in environmental fate and metabolism, environmental toxicology, plant science and residue chemistry, our experienced staff can provide the know how to meet your development and validation needs.
