Antimicrobial Screening

Screening of 24 Synthetic Antimicrobial Compounds That Remain in Meat

Synthetic antimicrobial agents are used as animal drugs and feed additives and they are known to remain in the body of farm animals. Residue limits prescribing the safe ingestible amounts of such agents have been set so that people can safely eat meat and processed meat products. Thanks to a pretreatment method*1 that minimizes the influence of impurities in meat (beef, pork, and chicken muscle), LC system enables screening of 24 synthetic antimicrobial compounds, which are regulated in Japan, Europe, and other regions, remaining in meat.

Technical specifications

Three Features

 

  • Optimized pretreatment method and two detectors support screening of 24 synthetic antimicrobial compounds.
  • Detects synthetic antimicrobial agents of the standard residual concentration with high sensitivity.
  • Displays screening results immediately after analysis is finished.

 

Target Compounds of the Antimicrobial Screening System
Detects Synthetic Antimicrobial Agents of the Standard Residual Concentration with High Sensitivity
Screening Results and Reports Are Available Immediately After Analysis Is Finished

Quickly Confirm Screening Results in the Data Browser Window
Multiple chromatograms and automatically calculated quantitative results can be conrmed in the same window by simply dragging acquired data to the Data Browser. Pass/fail results for criteria values can also be displayed at the same time, making it easy to understand test results at a glance.

Displays Results Immediately After Analysis Is Finished

Measurement results for each sample can be automatically created as quantitative reports and summary reports and output in PDF. Use of the multi-data report creation function makes it easier to view large amounts of data.

 

  1. The synthetic antimicrobial agents screening kit includes information and data that have been obtained by Shimadzu Corporation for the purpose of screening for synthetic antimicrobial agents remaining in meat. Avoid using the kit for purposes other than its intended purpose.
  2. Customers are responsible for how any results from the use of this kit are used.
  3. Standard residual concentrations are determined according to the laws and regulations below. 
  • Ministerial Notification No. 297 of the Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare
  • Development of applicable laws and regulations for the enforcement of Item 3, Article 11 of Japan's Food Sanitation Act revised based on the partial revision of the Food Sanitation Act Issued by Dept. of Food Safety, Pharmaceutical and Food Safety Bureau, Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (No. 1129001) on November 29, 2005 (final revision: May 31, 2007)
