What equipment is needed to set up a rapid testing room in an agricultural product market?

The rapid testing room in agricultural product markets is the first line of defense for ensuring the safety of fresh products. The configuration of its equipment must balance testing efficiency, accuracy, and common testing scenarios. To set up such a testing room, the following core equipment is required:

Basic testing equipment is the core, including pesticide residue rapid testers, which can quickly screen for organophosphorus and carbamate pesticide residues in vegetables and fruits, support batch sample testing, and meet the high-frequency testing needs of the market; colloidal gold card readers paired with test cards are used for rapid qualitative detection of veterinary drug residues such as clenbuterol and antibiotics, with simple operation and intuitive results.

In addition, auxiliary equipment is needed to ensure a smooth testing process. Electronic balances are used for accurately weighing samples and reagents, and pipettes enable precise transfer of micro-volumes of liquids. Both are the basis for ensuring testing accuracy; high-speed centrifuges can separate impurities in samples to improve the purity of the test solution; ultrasonic extractors can efficiently extract target substances from samples, shortening the pre-treatment time.

Furthermore, microbial testing equipment is indispensable. Rapid microbial detectors can complete the screening of pathogenic bacteria such as total bacterial colonies and Escherichia coli in a short time, and are especially suitable for products prone to microbial growth such as leafy vegetables and meat; handheld portable microbial testing instruments can conduct on-site sample testing and screening, improving the stability of the equipment and ensuring the accuracy of testing results.

For the construction of a conventional laboratory, choosing rapid testing instruments can save testing costs and improve testing efficiency. These devices work together to achieve the whole-process rapid testing from sample pre-treatment to result analysis, building an immediate defense line for food safety in agricultural product markets.
