We are proud to announce our new accreditations for radioactivity analysis in food, fresh water and wastewater, a guarantee of confidence and quality.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phytocontrol thus reinforces its commitment to food safety and the environment thanks to its R&D department, a pillar of innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Radioactivity in food and water is a major concern, given the potential risks to human health and the environment. Past nuclear accidents, radioactive waste and nuclear testing have left traces of radionuclides in our environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Radioactivity in food<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Phytocontrol laboratory is accredited to determine the activity of \u03b3-emitting radionuclides: Iodine 131, Cesium 134 and Cesium 137<\/strong>, as well as Am 241<\/sub>, Pb 210<\/sub>, Be 7<\/sub>, K 40<\/sub>, Co 58<\/sub>, Co 60<\/sub>, Ag 110<\/sub>, Eu 152<\/sub>, Th 232<\/sub>, Ra 226<\/sub>, Ba 133<\/sub>, and U 238<\/sub>, by gamma spectrometry, on the edible fractions of solid and liquid food products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Radioactivity in water<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cofrac accreditation is awarded for the determination of gamma-emitting radionuclide activity (Cs134<\/sub>, Cs137<\/sub>, I131<\/sub>, Am241<\/sub>, Pb210<\/sub>, Be7<\/sub>, K40<\/sub>, Co58<\/sub>, Co60<\/sub>, Ag110<\/sub>, Eu152<\/sub>, Th232<\/sub>, Ra226<\/sub>, Ba133<\/sub>, and U238<\/sub>), by gamma spectrometry, on freshwater and wastewater matrices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new fast, high-capacity proportional counting analysis technique for the determination of the global alpha and global beta index has also been accredited to complete our radioactivity offering on freshwater and wastewater samples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our new accreditations for the analysis of radioactivity in foodstuffs and water<\/a> are the fruit of many years’ work, innovation and commitment to food safety, contributing to a safer future for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
