Milk (residues)
Parameters (quantitative): Chloramphenicol (CAS 56-75-7) [µg/kg], PCB 101 (CAS 37680-73-2) [(mg/kg) fat], trichlormethane (CAS 67-66-3) [mg/kg], aflatoxin M1 [µg/kg], Streptomycin (CAS 57-92-1) [µg/l], tetracycline (CAS 60-54-8) [µg/kg] Article Number: 2010045 Description: The reliable proof of residues in milk is of gaining increasing importance in terms of consumer protection. Regarding this the qualitative determination as well as the quantitative analysis is of high importance. Both is covered by this proficiency testing: A qualitative evaluation for all residues has to be carried out. For those parameters where a detectable limit of residues is identified the quantitative analysis is requested. The performance evaluation is done for the quantitative testing. Category: immunological, molecular biological and microbiological testing food and feed milk and cream Accreditation: This proficiency test is not included in the scope of the accreditation. |

Performance testing solid culture media – productivity (EN ISO 11133)
Parameters (quantitative): productivity [cfu] Article Number: 2011336 Description: Productivity test according to DIN EN ISO 11133 or EN ISO 11133 on tryptic soy agar (TSA). As part of the proficiency test, participants are sent certified reference material in the form of the test organism and ready-to-use culture media plates to be tested. The productivity test is to be carried out as a triple determination. Category: immunological, molecular biological and microbiological testing food and feed Performance testing culture media Accreditation: This proficiency test is within the scope of the A2LA and the DAkkS accreditation. risk group 1 |

Porcine and beef DNA in gelatine
Parameters (quantitative): identification of the animal species pork, identification of the animal species beef 1 Article Number: 2010588 Description: Based on the former successful profiency test RVEP 150204 whereas porcine DNA (fragments) were specifically identified in gelatin for human consumption, the new profiency test will include the sensitive detection of pork (sus scrofa) and optionally also of bovine (bos taurus). The PT is designed to use DNA methods (preferentially qPCR), but other tests might be used as well. The profiency test will consist of a sensitive qualitative detection of traces of DNA (fragments). Even so the achieved ct values will indicate how strong the results and therefore sensitivity of different systems are. A real quantification will not be possible in this matrix. Category: immunological, molecular biological and microbiological testing food and feed food matrices (other) Accreditation: This proficiency test is not included in the scope of the accreditation. |

Porcine DNA in Candy
Parameters (quantitative): identification of the animal species pork Article Number: 2010313 Description: Increased interest in the detection of animal species in food has been observed, in particular in highly sensitive analytical methods, especially for the species pig. The real-time molecular biological method based on the amplification of DNA allows specific detection of DNA and DNA fragments of the respective species. The sensitivity depends on the PCR system used, the matrix and the degree of processing of the food. A relative quantification is possible by determining the Ct values, but the systems are calibrated for raw muscle meat. In this proficiency testing, gums are used as matrix for the qualitative detection of low amounts of porcine DNA.
