Quinolones and Fluoroquinolones Residue Testing Service

The wrong application of quinolones or fluoroquinolones may affect the health of consumers. Alfa Chemistry provides an analysis platform that can accurately identify or quantify residual quinolones or fluoroquinolones in food and food products.

Quinolones are a class of synthetic drugs with 1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid structure. Fluoroquinolones belong to the third-generation fluoroquinolone chemically synthesized antibiotics and are commonly used synthetic antibacterial drugs. These drugs are mainly used to prevent and treat infectious diseases of livestock, poultry and fish, and have antibacterial, antimycoplasma, and anticoccidial effects.

In the process of reproduction, processing and storage, the abuse, misuse, and non-compliance of drug withdrawal regulations can lead to excessive drug residues and leave their metabolites in the muscles and organs of animals. This residue enters the human body through the food chain, which may cause the human body to develop drug resistance, affect disease treatment and recovery, and cause serious food safety problems and export trade problems. More and more countries are setting maximum residue limits (MRLs) and withdrawal periods for fluoroquinolones.

In order to avoid the emergence of more antibiotic resistance, protect the health of consumers, and comply with the antibiotic residue testing standards for export trade, Alfa Chemistry can provide you with a quinolone and fluoroquinolone drug residue testing platform. We strictly abide by the quality assurance/quality control plans and regulatory requirements of each country and region to provide you with support. Including but not limited to the following standards and methods: ISO, FDA, AOAC, EU regulations.
