Sulfonamides Residue Testing Service

The wrong application of sulfonamide antibiotics may lead to drug residues in animal-derived foods and affect consumer health. Alfa Chemistry provides an analysis platform that can accurately identify or quantify residual sulfonamide in food samples.

Sulfonamides (SAs) is the general name of a class of drugs with p-aminobenzene sulfonamide structure. SAs is commonly used to prevent and treat bacterial infections. Long-term intake of low doses of SAs promotes growth, so SAs are sometimes used as animal feed additives. It is widely used in animal breeding because of its low production cost, low price, good antibacterial effect and convenient use.

SAs are stable and not easy to be decomposed. They can be directly eliminated in the form of prototypes in animals. SAs can also be left in animal products, such as meat, milk, eggs, etc., resulting in reduced quality and safety of animal food. Residues of SAs can accumulate in the body through the food chain. When a drug accumulates to a certain level, it can lead to serious human health problems, such as drug resistance, allergies or toxic reactions. Therefore, various countries have established limit regulations for the maximum residues of SAs in food. The maximum residue limit of sulfa drugs in foods of animal origin is mostly set at 0.1 mg/kg in various countries around the world.

In order to ensure the health of consumers and ensure that food meets the requirements of various regulatory agencies, Alfa Chemistry' analytical experts can identify and quantify the levels of a range of sulfonamides in your food samples. 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.
