Hello!
My question:
I'm searching some pesticide laboratory in the world, some big laboratory.
I know ''Fytolab'' but in your country, what is the more biggest laboratory or reference laboratory for pesticide analysis?
Thank you for your help!

What pesticides are you looking for? What matrix? What reporting levels do you need? Do you need to have the lab follow a particular method (EPA or otherwise)? How many samples will you have, over how long a sampling period?

Hello!
My laboratory is a pesticide laboratory and presently, we have lc/ms/ms and gc/ms for multiresidues pesticides analysis.
I think that we need gc/ms/ms in 2011 and for international regulation criteria.
Modern laboratory pesticide in the world have gc/ms or update for gc/ms/ms?
Do you know some pesticide laboratory in the world where we can find this equipment?
What do you think about this?
Thank you!

Dr. Specht Lab of Eurofin is one of leaders in the pesticide analysis (commercial lab). You may want to check it out.

As far as I know, many commercial labs still rely on GC-ECD/MS/FPD for pesticide analysis, LC-MS/MS is not popular yet, let alone GC-MS/MS.

My lab has both LC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS for pesticide analysis, but is not a commercial lab.

Effectively, in commercial lab, lc/ms/ms and gc/ms/ms are not popular
