Dioxins in food and feed-reference methods and new certified reference materials (DIFFERENCE)

Objective

This proposal comprises a feasibility study on the preparation of five candidate CRMs and the certification of dioxins, furans and dioxin-like PCBs in these materials, and the development, optimization, validation and standardization of chemical and bio-analytical screening methods for dioxins, furans and dioxin- like PCBs. The availability of CRMs will lead to a better quality of dioxin analysis. New (screening) methods, including new extraction and clean-up techniques, will lead to a more cost-effective dioxin analysis in Europe and will create more capacity in European dioxin laboratories involved in food and feed control . The knowledge gathered from this project will be disseminated through newsletters, publications, presentations, training courses, a workshop, an instruction video/DVD and a web-site.
