| Equipment/Facilities | Application |
| Gas Chromatograph (GC) | Analysis of residues of organochlorine, organophosphates and synthetic pyrethroids in food commodities such as fruits, vegetables, spices, herbs, fish, tea and environmental samples like soil and water. |
| Gas Chromatograph Mass spectrometer (GC-MS) | Analysis of residues of organochlorine, organophosphates and synthetic pyrethroids in food commodities such as fruits, vegetables, spices, herbs, fish, tea and environmental samples like soil and water. |
| Liquid Chromatograph Mass spectrometer (LC-MS) |
Analysis of residues of organophosphates, neonicotinoids, diamides and other newer pesticide molecules in food commodities such as fruits, vegetables, spices, herbs, fish, tea and environmental samples like soil and water. To generate persistence/residue data of pesticides on crops in different agro climates for fixing the Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI), approval of label claim and fixation of maximum residue limits (MRLs) for the safety of the consumers. |
