Development of a Comprehensive and Cost Effective Screening Method for Pesticide Residues in Fruits and Vegetables

Camosun学院很高兴地宣布，应用研究与创新中心（CARI）将与MB实验室有限公司，位于悉尼，不列颠哥伦比亚省，对自然科学和工程研究理事会（NSERC）应用研究开发（ARD）赠款提供全方位服务的分析实验室合作。Camosun College为10，000多名全日制学生和另外3，000名兼职学生提供超过160个学位，文凭和其他证书课程，这些学生位于美丽的维多利亚，BC。该学院在其40年的历史中教育和培养了50，000多名毕业生，使其在市场上脱颖而出，每年对当地经济的影响为8.166亿美元。该研究项目将专注于设计和开发水果和蔬菜中农药残留检测的新方法，这将有助于创建更全面和更具成本效益的检测。这将包括以下组成部分：1。两个提取程序的调查，已被报道是成本效益和简单。2.一项能够分析多种农药和其他污染物的GC/MS条件的研究。3.使用开发程序分析所得结果对报告和化合物鉴别软件的有效性进行调查。因此，允许检测包括农药在内的926种常见有机污染物的综合清单。该项目将为MB实验室提供一种新的农药残留检测方法，这将带来新的商业机会。此外，该项目的结果将为当地公司和农场提供一个具有成本效益的水果和蔬菜农药残留测试。如果您有兴趣参与行业合作项目，请联系Jamie VanDenbossche，email:vandenbosschej@camosun.bc.ca

Camosun College is excited to be announcing that the Centre for Applied Research and Innovation (CARI) will be partnering with MB Laboratories Ltd, a full service analytical laboratory located in Sidney, British Columbia, on an Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council's (NSERC) Applied Research Development (ARD) grant. Camosun College offers over 160 degree, diploma and other credential programs to more than 10,000 full-time, and another 3,000 part-time, students in beautiful Victoria, BC. The college has educated and prepared more than 50,000 graduates to excel in the marketplace in its 40-year history, and has an annual local economic impact of $816.6 million. This research project will focus on the design and development of novel methods for pesticide residue testing in fruits and vegetables which will help create a more comprehensive and cost effective test. This will include the following components: 1. An investigation of two extraction procedures which have been reported to be cost effective and simple. 2. An investigation of GC/MS conditions capable of analyzing multiple classes of pesticides and other contaminants. 3. An investigation of the effectiveness of reporting and compound identification software using results taken from analysis using the developed procedure. Therefore, allowing for the detection of a comprehensive list of 926 common organic contaminants including pesticides. This project will provide MB Laboratories with a new pesticide residue testing method which will open new business opportunities. Also, the results of this project will provide local companies and farms with a cost effective testing for pesticides residues in fruits and vegetables.
