FACILITIES:

                   FQTL is established in the premises of NavsariAgriculturalUniversity, Navsari. FQTL has four sections viz., Pesticide residues, Heavy Metal, Biochemistry and Microbiology. Each section has their own well furnished laboratory to determine the quality of food materials including raw and finished products. FQTL has wide range of equipments to determine the pesticide residues, elemental analysis and other chemical and microbial contaminants. FQTL is equipped with highly sensitive world class equipments like GC, GCMS and HPLC for pesticide residue analysis. ICP-MS is used for the elemental analysis and NIR for biochemical analysis. FQTL is capable of determining microbial contaminants in array of Food and Environmental matrices. The composition of food can also be determined in Biochemistry section.  FQTL is following the globally accepted standard protocols for the analysis. FQTL follows Good Laboratory Practices to provide reliable analytical results. Hence, FQTL provides single window solution regarding the quality of Food and Food products. Therefore, FQTL proved very useful to the researchers, food manufacturers, exporters, farming community and ultimately to the consumers.
