Environmental Chemistry (GLP) Residue Services

SynTech Research offers environmental chemistry residue services. For this purpose, the field stations and test fields are located in the main agricultural growing areas, as well as analytical laboratories in Europe, North and Latin America. This allows SynTech to offer a complete service for GLP residue studies, from the design of study protocols, field and analytical phases, to study reports on more than 100 different crops in open field or protected conditions, such as greenhouses. 

The team of Study Directors can manage all phases (field, processing, analytical phases) of multi-site studies with any type of trial: harvest, decline, reverse decline curve or rotational crops, as well as soil dissipation studies.

GLP Study Directorship / GLP Test Facilities

SynTech’s experienced and reliable teams of GLP Study Directors based in the EU, US and Latin America can manage all phases (field, processing, analytical phases) of GLP studies.

Field Phases

Whether designated as Test Facilities or Field Test sites, our global network of field sites in over 40 countries ensures comprehensive coverage of all key crops and locations meeting phytosanitary restrictions, specific soil types or other field requirements to be met. Our major locations broaden our access to highly specific crops managed by our teams. We also work with preferred field partners to cover regions where SynTech Research is not present.

The following types of Field Phases can be conducted:

  • Magnitude of residues.
  • Rotational crops.
  • Dislodgeable foliar residues.
  • Operator Exposure.
  • Terrestrial field dissipation.
  • Other specific studies (e.g. seedlings, seed scattering, stored grains).

Field phases are conducted with appropriate application equipment, to ensure representation of local agricultural practices.

Processing Phases

Our GLP processing labs in Europe allow GLP processing of a wide range of Raw Agricultural Commodities either originated from Europe or from other geographies, to support import tolerance studies through various semi-industrial processes.

In geographies where our own processing facilities are not available, processing phases are delegated to reliable facilities which have expertise and correspond ending equipment to match your processing needs.

Analytical Phases

Experienced chemists and investigators in our own analytical laboratories in the USA, France, Germany, Brazil and Argentina work with state-of-the-art equipment (LC/MS/MS and GC/MS/MS instruments) for fast and accurate residue measurements.

Services offered include:

  • Analysis of samples from crop, animal and environmental studies, including ecotoxicology matrices
  • LC/MS/MS capability on both Thermo and Sciex platforms (HPLC and UPLC)
  • Laboratory guideline studies including:
    • Method development and validation
    • Method refinement for new crop, aquatic, animal tissue, animal feed and pollinator matrices
    • Independent laboratory validation (ILV)
    • Frozen storage stability
    • Multi-residue method assessment
    • Soil dissipation
    • Field volatility and spray drift measurement
    • Transferable turf residue (TTR)

In geographies where our own labs are not available, analytical phases are delegated to reliable partner laboratories which have expertise and corresponding equipment to match your analytical needs.

Quality Assurance Auditing Services

The QA team consists of around 30 in-house QA professionals, located in North America (USA and Mexico), Northern Europe (France, Germany, United Kingdom, Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland), Southern Europe (Spain, Portugal and Italy), Latin America (Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Costa-Rica) and Asia (Philippines).
