We analyse samples for regulatory compliance, quality control and risk assessment. Our key capabilities include trace-level identification of contaminants in complex matrices, matrix-specific LOQs with fully validated quantification and multi-parameter analytical workflows for a wide range of contaminants and residues.
Analysis of contaminants and residues in plant-based and animal-derived foods as well as raw materials throughout the supply chain.
Example matrices: Cereals, grains, nuts, oilseeds, spices, herbs, cocoa, coffee, tea, fruit, vegetables (fresh and processed), confectionery, edible oils and fats, dairy products, eggs, meat, fish and seafood.
Analytical testing for highly sensitive product categories with stringent regulatory requirements and low maximum permitted levels.
Example matrices: Infant formula, follow-on formula, baby cereals, complementary foods, foods for special medical purposes (FSMP), clinical nutrition products.
Analysis of contaminants, residues and undesirable substances in feed materials and pet food products.
Example matrices: Feed materials, compound feed, premixes, forage products, pet food (dry, wet and complementary).
Testing for environmentally relevant contaminants and residues to support water quality monitoring and the identification of potential contamination sources.
Example matrices: Drinking water, raw water, wastewater, soil, dust, environmental swabs.
Proximate analysis, energy calculation, fatty acid profiles, sugars, fibre and mineral content for full nutritional declarations under Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 or UK requirements.
Pathogen detection, colony counts, environmental monitoring – where microbiological and chemical contamination intersect.
