Testing
Utilizing the support and resources of National Testing Laboratories (NTL) and Cascade Analytical, NCSI Americas is able to offer a full service testing service. Testing can be carried out in these key areas:
MRL Testing
Pesticides on food, in water and soil are a concern. Determine for yourself and your clients if they are present in your product, water or soil. We work with a qualified sub-contract lab for this work, which specializes in agricultural chemistries. A customized pesticide residue scan is also available, which is specifically designed for the North-West tree fruit industry and contains a 10 year historical database.
