Pesticides Test - USP <561> - GC/TQ

Method Description

USP 561 outlines the analysis of pesticides in articles of botanical origin using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). This method involves the extraction and separation of pesticides from botanical samples, followed by precise identification and quantification using GC-MS. The GC-MS technique ensures accurate analysis of pesticide residues in botanicals, meeting the standards set by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP). This method is essential for pharmaceutical and herbal industries, providing a reliable means to assess and control the presence of pesticides in botanical articles, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and guaranteeing the safety and quality of products intended for human consumption or medicinal use.

Additional Information
If an incurred residue is detected, it must be validated prior to being reported as a verified residue. A non-verified residue is a presumed detection or estimated concentration. The concentration reported could change with further validation work. Validation of a non-verified residue can be requested within 30 days from the time the residue is reported. Validation testing has a cost of $213 for up to five analytes. Samples will be reported as follows: see chart
