Specialists of the "National Center of Expertise" improved their professional skills at the research institute "RIKILT", which operates on the basis of "Wageningen University & Research" in Wageningen, the Netherlands.

In the field of agriculture and ecology, this is the best university in the Netherlands, where independent research is carried out in the field of food safety and authenticity.

RSE on REM "National Center of Expertise" pays great attention to the development of human resources and advanced training of employees both domestically and abroad.

So, within two weeks, specialists of the sanitary-hygienic laboratory of the NCE studied new methods, sample preparation of organochlorine pesticides, organophosphorus compounds, carbomates and pyrethroids. These methods make it possible to identify more than 200 pesticides in food products. A method was also studied for the determination of persistent organic pollutants and carcinogens that cause cancer.

During the training, specialists from Kazakhstan were introduced to the latest high-resolution GC/MS (GC-Orbitrap) and high-resolution LC-MS (UPLC-Q-Exactive) equipment.

According to NCE staff, some of the research methods differ from those conducted in Kazakhstan. But, on the basis of our laboratories, we can introduce and master these methods, which is planned to be implemented during 2018.

In addition, the faculty of the RIKILT Research Institute plans to visit Kazakhstan and conduct a two-week training course for all specialists of the National Center of Expertise.
