Accredited Glyphosate and AMPA Testing - Drinking Water
Following a recent validation exercise of a new analytical technique, Fitz Scientific are pleased to advise that we can now provide in house testing for Glyphosate and AMPA in drinking, surface and ground water matrices in our Drogheda laboratory. The method is accredited to ISO 17025 for drinking water.
All analysis of drinking water samples for Glyphosate that was previously subcontracted will now be completed in house. Where our customers conduct sampling themselves we will continue provide the appropriate sample containers required for this analysis. Where we conduct the sampling on your behalf we will update all relevant chain of custody forms with the new test methods.
Parameter details are listed below.
| Parameter | LOD (μg/L) | Range (ug/L) |
| Glyphosate Potable Water | 0.01 | 0 - 0.2 |
| Glyphosate Surface Water | 0.002 | 0 - 0.2 |
| Glyphosate Ground Water | 0.0017 | 0 - 0.2 |
| AMPA Potable Water | 0.007 | 0 - 0.2 |
| AMPA SurfaceWater | 0.01 | 0 - 0.2 |
| AMPA Ground Water | 0.002 | 0 - 0.2 |
This update is part of a number of exciting investments and improvements we will be making over the coming weeks. We look forward to our continued relationship as your trusted scientific partner.
