WATER

Eclipse analyse waters liable to contain pesticide residues and therefore having the potential to introduce these compounds onto crops or into the environment.

Irrigation waters are frequently taken from surface water sources. Here there is a risk of run off from surrounding land bringing about contamination with pesticides previously applied elsewhere, possibly harmful and irrelevant to the product being cultivated. Waters may also become contaminated with potent general herbicides that interfere with plant growth.

Waste waters from fruit/vegetable processing (wash waters) can become contaminated with residues and discharges to the public waste water systems need to be monitored.

In both cases, screenings of the waters can be for a broad range of compounds – a multiresidue screen as detailed below – or tests can be confined to known risks eg residues of post harvest fungicides applied to potatoes

Quality is the driving force behind Eclipse Scientific Group

lab workerAll laboratories undertake testing to standards which comply with UKAS (or equivalent) accreditation (ISO 17025, satisfying the relevant elements of ISO 9000).

Eclipse holds ‘multi-site accreditation' - one testing schedule is in place to cover the Group's testing activities in the UK (ie. not including our Portlaoise laboratory in Ireland). tell me more...
