Phytocontrol, specialist in contaminant analysis

As a specialist in contaminant analysis, Phytocontrol works to offer you quality screenings, comprehensive and tailored to your needs. The laboratory develops and regularly updates its pesticide lists using a relevant approach.

A distinctive analytical service in terms of innovation, responsiveness and reliability, through close support.

The substances included in our lists take into account:

  • Residue definition amendments published in the OJEU. These often involve the inclusion of metabolites in existing residue definitions. These new substances undergo feasibility testing in order to be included in our lists in line with the implementation dates set out in the regulations.
  • Plant protection uses in force in Europe and internationally.
  • Brand-new active substances recently authorised or currently undergoing EU authorisation.

We make a point of offering you our LC/MS-MS and GC/MS-MS screenings so that they are fully in line with current regulations, including active substances of interest linked to the uses of your sector, such as: dithianon, captan, tetrahydrophthalimide (THPI), abamectin and its isomers, etc.

Phytocontrol also takes into account the recommendations of trade organisations linked to your production environment. This is notably the case for our Apple-Pear multi-residue screening which, in addition to our comprehensive screenings, meets the recommendations of the ANPP.

Phytocontrol supports you in meeting the numerous regulatory changes regarding contaminant analysis, and ensures you a very high level of expertise, particularly thanks to its R&D team: around forty technicians, engineers and doctors, dedicated to the development of innovative methods, and guarantors of the reliability of the analyses.
