The specialized services of pesticide residue analyses continues to be conducted by the Department of Molecular Biosciences and Bioengineering (MBBE). ADSC also coordinates the interpretation of the analytical and diagnostic results and the recommendations for corrective action. Specific recommendations are ultimately prescribed by CTAHR extension specialists. ADSC handles the billing and collection of service fees.
