Our Lab Analyzes Pesticides in a
Variety of Matrices

Synergistic Pesticide Lab analyzes pesticides in many types of food, agricultural and environmental samples. Descriptions of our capabilities are listed below. Please ask if you need something tested that is not on our list. We are constantly updating our capabilities to provide the highest quality service. Contact us for more information such as matrix specific lists and pricing.

Multiresidue Screens

Our Multiresidue Screen contains over 300 insecticides, herbicides and fungicides. It covers many current use pesticides registered for a wide variety of crops on the West Coast as well as legacy pesticides from EPA methodology. Analytes vary according to matrix, please contact us for more details.

Fruit Screen

The Fruit Screen is a targeted list of 150 pesticides specifically registered for fruit crops. We recommend this screen for our MRL and Global GAP clients as it covers your needs and is less expensive than the Multiresidue Screen. While we mostly run this test on fruit, we can test all matrices for this screen.

Individual, Custom & Research Screens

We can test for a single analyte or custom list in most matrices from this 2021 Analyte List. Annually, we perform customized pesticide research in a variety of sample types. Contact us for more information.

FOOD TESTING

Synergistic works with growers, packers, processors and shippers for MRL export, import and Global GAP testing. We’ve worked with many types of fresh and processed foods including frozen, canned, brined, dried, powered, juices and concentrates.

RESEARCH TESTING

We also work with Universities, commodity commissions, chemical suppliers, and growers across the US doing research work to do our part to support agricultural industries.

Here are some of our recent and ongoing projects:

  • Residue decline in berries with comparison to MRLs to facilitate trade
  • Pollinator residues – bees, pollen, flower, nectar, leaves, soil and water
  • Insecticide uptake in young hazelnut trees to treat for flatheaded borers
  • Evaluation of spray coverage in almond & walnut canopy using spray rigs
  • Measuring drift and deposition products in apple orchards

AGRICULTURAL TESTING

We analyze current use pesticides in plant tissue, soil and product samples. Some of the ag projects we work on are:

  • Phytotoxicity
  • Herbicide Carryover
  • Spray Drift
  • Spills/Leaches
  • Suspected bad tank mixes

ENVIRONMENTAL TESTING

Our Multiresidue Screen included many classes of compounds found in EPA methods:

  • Organochlorine Insecticides
  • Organophosphate Insecticides
  • Carbamate Insecticides
  • Triazine Herbicides

We perform environmental pesticide analysis in water, soil, compost, dust and wipe samples.
