detection of organochlorines, organophosphates, organonitrates, organosulfates
and methyl carbamates. Based upon the extraction methods and equipment
utilized, well over 250 compounds "as listed in the FDA's Pesticide Analytical

sample of the commodity from the field and maintain a strict chain of custody
from the field to the laboratory for analysis. A product is "Certified" when it
meets applicable government standards.
