Queensland DPIF commissions new chemical residue technology

摘要

The Queensland Department of Primary Industries and Fisheries (DPIF)has commissioned technology to allow scientists to look for minute levels of chemical and toxins in fruit,vegetables and meat.Based at the DPIF Biosecurity Sciences Laboratory at Yeerongpilly,the new liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometer (LC-MS)will assist scientists to identify unhealthy levels of antibiotics,plant toxins and pesticides in meat and horticultural produce and to identify chemical levels less than one part per billion.
