Pesticide Testing<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Our quality assurance system adheres to international standards including ISO 17025. We maintain comprehensive testing capabilities for key parameters including pesticide residues, allergens, and mycotoxins (specifically Ochratoxin A) to ensure export-grade coffee quality.<\/p>

Our testing scope covers essential coffee analytes including Ochratoxin, caffeine content, and roast color values. Our instrumentation is equipped with advanced LCMSMS and GCMSMS, used for pesticide and ETO residue testing, allowing us to screen for a wide array of contaminants as required by global regulations.<\/p>

Testing activities can be expanded to parameters such as Polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and various organic solvents. In our Microbiology section, all parameters including pathogens are covered. Key chemical and physical indicators such as water activity, total ash, particle size (grind consistency), and extraneous matter are also monitored.<\/p>

We utilize multiple methods including ISO and BAM to ensure accuracy and compliance. Our testing capabilities continue to expand to meet the rigorous international export standards of the speciality coffee industry.<\/p><\/section><\/section>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
