Dioxins - Phytocontrol

Phytocontrol offers you a new ultra-efficient extraction and purification process.

The guarantee of the highest quality analysis as soon as possible for your dioxin controls.

Dioxins are persistent organic pollutants in the environment resulting from contamination linked to transport, incineration, chemical processes or pesticides. They accumulate in the food chain, mainly in animal fats.

Under the generic name of Dioxins are grouped together Dioxins, Furans and PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) which themselves are declined in several dozen lipophilic organochlorine congeners whose methods of extraction and detection in fatty substances are of great technical complexity and very specific skills.

Phytocontrol offers this analysis by gas chromatography coupled with high resolution mass spectrometry (GC/HR-MS) according to a new high-performance automated extraction and purification process guaranteeing you the highest quality analysis as quickly as possible.

Innovation APGC-MS/MS

Fruit of its latest technological developments, Phytocontrol now offers the analysis of dioxins and PCBs in gas chromatography at atmospheric pressure coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (APGC-MS/MS) in foodstuffs and animal feeds.

Analytical know-how in foodstuffs combined with perfect regulatory control

This analytical know-how in foodstuffs combined with a perfect regulatory control make Phytocontrol the ideal partner to guide and accompany you in your monitoring plan for Dioxins, Furans and PCBs with regard to the particularly complex European regulations in the field.

Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 and its successive amendments setting maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs.
Directive 2002/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 May 2002 and its successive amendments on undesirable substances in animal feed.
Commission Recommendation 2013/711/EU of 3 December 2013 and its successive amendments on the reduction of the presence of dioxins, furans and PCBs in feedingstuffs and foodstuffs.
