Residue testing ensures that our products' quality meets domestic and international market access and safety requirements. It's mostly used to find, quantify, and investigate pesticide residues in human meals, livestock feeds, and drinking water. Residue data is then used to assess dietary risk and estimate the Maximum Residue Level. The residue testing market is surging owing to frequent acquisitions and launchings by the market players. Strategic alliances by the players such as acquisitions, mergers, expansions, and new product launches may enhance the company's growth.
