PT for biogenic amines: can't find it? We have it!

Are you looking for a proficiency test for biogenic amines? Then you are in the right place! Stop looking, we have what you need!

Test Veritas provides a Proficiency Test for the research of Biogenic Amines : the parameters under study are histamine, cadaverine, putrescine, spermidine, spermine, tyramine and BAI (Biogenic Amines Index).

From this year we have further improved our Progetto Trieste proficiency testing programme for histamine and freshness parameters, without any price increase!

This year there is the introduction of a further concentration level for histamine for each proficiency test belonging to the lines of Histamine and freshness parameters in food.

Our offer

During the Round of September – Histamine and freshness parameters, you will have the opportunity to experience the convenience and the quality of our two Proficiency Tests dedicated to biogenic amines and histamine:

  • With this PT you will receive 3 evaluations for histamine at different levels of concentration, 1 evaluation for the other biogenic amines and 1 evaluation for Total Volatile Basic Nitrogen (TVBN).

OUR STRENGHTS

  • Separate evaluation data for screening and confirmatory methods, with the assigned value deriving only from quantitative confirmatory results.
  • Even if you are evaluating a screening method, the PT simulates what you would do in your routine (comparing your results with the confirmatory ones).
  • The qualitative and semi-quantitative screening results receive evaluations provided with dedicated criteria. The quantitative screening results are evaluated also through z-score.
  • One of the biggest advantages is the very convenient price, thought to allow subscriptions to group of PT at special price (Biogenic amines, TVBN and Histamine)
  • Our Test Material are lyophilized (to be tested after reconstitution), in order to guarantee the stability of the Test Materials, even for long shipment. In this way, regardless of the provenience of the laboratory, every participant can be sure to receive the exact same Test Material as the others. This will make the assigned value (obtained by consensus) more reliable and the evaluation more valid.
