VICAM™: Glyphosate Testing

Glyphosate is a chemical herbicide used during cultivation of cereal grains, pulses, oilseeds, sugar beets and more. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified glyphosate as a Group 2B probable carcinogen in 2016. Since that time, at least 35 countries, regions and municipalities have moved to restrict or ban the use of glyphosate for commercial and noncommercial use.

Glyphosate-V

Glyphosate-V is a quantitative method for the detection of glyphosate in a variety of sample types, such as cereal grains and water. Able to detect glyphosate at very low contamination levels in just 15 minutes, Glyphosate-V delivers actionable quality data to support preventive management and regulatory compliance at the farm, grain storage or manufacturing operation – and in the laboratory. Glyphosate’s simple approach requires very little training or technical skill to obtain accurate, reliable results.
