The PerkinElmer Spices Test kit is designed to identify and quantify the presence of various spices and herbs. It is based on the most sensitive PCR tests and is already being used by airport immigration staff in New Zealand. This new test uses the same technology used in the testing of meat, poultry, fruits, and vegetables. The kit is ideal for a variety of applications. Besides testing spices, the PerkinElmer line of products also includes tests for herbs, poultry, and produce.

In addition to being one of the most expensive ingredients in food, spices are also a labor-intensive process. This makes them an attractive commodity for unscrupulous suppliers. Because of these factors, PerkinElmer offers solutions for detecting adulteration and assessing quality. Spices may also contain lead, cadmium, or arsenic, which have been linked to various health problems. It is therefore important to choose the right test kits to ensure that consumers receive quality products.
