Method Development and Validation Special Project Abstract The goal of this project is to assist the State of Tennessee in developing methods and technologies to expand the TDA Technical Service Laboratory's (TSL) ability to monitor for pesticides in samples in support of an integrated human food and animal feed safety system across the United States. It is a goal of the Tennessee Department of Agriculture to develop methods and technologies to expand the capability to detect pesticides in human food. The work proposed in this project will help expand the TSL's ability to test for more pesticides in more food products resulting in a stronger human food safety system.
