Using a Collaborative, Innovative Approach and Flexible Facilities to Optimize Post-Harvest Fumigation Studies

Labcorp was approached by a client who, as part of a regulatory submission, needed to create a laboratory-scale test setup for conducting post-harvest fumigation studies of multiple commodities at different controlled temperatures. This meant collaborating with fumigation specialists, applying a flexible approach to adaptation of facilities and designing new equipment to obtain maximum residue levels (MRLs) using methods acceptable to regulators.
