Support for antibiotic residue testing in fisheries products

This small R&D activity is providing support to scientists at the Indonesian National Centre for Quality Control. An Australian analyst is providing general advisory support, training and troubleshooting advice as needed to help build the organisation's expertise in the analysis of antibiotic residues in shrimp and other seafood for export. The Australian analyst who has experience in using Waters LC-MS/MS analytical equipment will work in-house. This will be followed by two weeks of on-the-job training for three Indonesian analysts in Australia, giving them the opportunity to experience the workings of a modern residue analytical laboratory. An Australian expert will then conduct a follow-on course in Indonesia for a wider audience, assisted by the analysts who took part in the Australian training.
