Examples of our work

LGC has developed a sensitive LC-MSMS method for beta-agonist residues which has since been expanded to cover 14 drugs in meat, offal and urine.  It includes clenbuterol, of particular concern in the beef industry, and drugs such as ractopamine and zilpaterol that are used in pig production in some geographic regions.
