Residues and Contaminants

Pesticides are used in agriculture to protect and secure the harvest. The Laboratory for Residues and Contaminants analyses residues to help guarantee environmentally friendly cultivation methods and largely unpolluted agricultural produce which does not exceed the legal limit of residue levels.

  • analysis of residues from insecticides, fungicides, acaricides and herbicides in agricultural products as well as in soil and water
  • analysis of natural substances
  • analysis of new pesticides in terms of degradation and drift properties
  • residue analysis of random samples from organic and integrated farming to guarantee compliance with the appropriate guidelines
  • development and optimisation of new methods of analysis

From 21st of October, the laboratory will be closed and unable to accept samples due to relocation. It will reopen in November at its new location at NOI Techpark. Due to the move, accreditation according to ISO/IEC 17025 will also be suspended.

The laboratory is located in building D2 at NOI Techpark (Bolzano South), Via Gianni Brida 2, 39100 Bolzano.

Opening hours: by appointment only
