Specialised Support Beyond Testing

Analytical results are only part of the solution. Our expert services help companies translate scientific findings into informed decisions, effective corrective actions and sustainable improvements that strengthen quality, product safety and regulatory compliance.

Our Services

Sample Reception

Reliable Intake. Complete Traceability.

Analytical quality begins before the first measurement. Incorrect sample identification, interrupted cold chains or incomplete documentation compromise results regardless of how carefully the analysis is performed.

Our standardised intake process records every sample with barcode identification and full LIMS integration from the moment it arrives. Samples can be delivered around the clock, and coordinated logistics with appropriate transport conditions are available on request.

  • LIMS Integration
  • Transport Conditions
  • Chain of Custody

Crisis Management

Evidence-Based Decisions Under Pressure.

Unexpected analytical findings, RASFF notifications or regulatory actions require rapid and well-informed decision-making. Without a structured response, regulatory exposure, operational delays and business risks can escalate quickly.

As a single point of contact across our laboratory network, we coordinate analytical investigations, risk assessments and stakeholder communication. Our multidisciplinary experts combine microbiological, chemical and molecular expertise to support evidence-based decisions when timing is critical.

 

  • Regulatory Emergencies
  • Contamination Events
  • Product Recalls
  • Supply Chain Disruptions
  • CCP Exceedances
  • RASFF Follow-up

Consulting

From Root Cause Analysis to Sustainable Improvement.

Recurring deviations, analytical uncertainties and compliance gaps require more than generic recommendations. We assess processes in their operational context to identify underlying causes and practical improvement opportunities.

Combining laboratory expertise with in-depth process knowledge, we support root cause investigations, method validation and the implementation of sustainable corrective actions. All findings and recommendations are documented, traceable and audit-ready.

 

  • Recurring Deviations
  • Method Validation
  • Compliance Gaps
  • Process Optimisation
  • Audit Preparation

Inspections

Verifying Practice. Identifying Risks.

Effective hygiene and allergen control depend on how procedures are implemented in daily operations. Risks often arise where documented processes differ from actual practice.

Our independent inspections assess hygiene concepts, allergen management programmes, zoning effectiveness and cleaning validation under real operating conditions. Where necessary, observations can be supported by targeted laboratory analyses.

  • Hygiene Status
  • Allergen Cross-Contact
  • Zoning Effectiveness
  • Cleaning Validation
  • Documentation vs. Practice

Independent Counter Analysis &
Regulatory Expertise

For regulatory investigations, dispute cases and legal proceedings, independent and scientifically sound evidence is essential. We provide officially recognised counter analysis in accordance with § 43 LFGB, supported by certified experts and multidisciplinary laboratory expertise.

We deliver objective verification across microbiological, molecular biological, chemical and sensory testing to support reliable decision-making in regulatory and legal contexts.

Food Contact Materials Testing & Compliance Assessment

Ensuring Safety and Compliance Across Food Contact Materials.

Food contact materials can interact with food through the migration of substances such as monomers, additives, NIAS, mineral oil hydrocarbons and other compounds. Compliance with Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004 requires evidence that these substances do not compromise food safety or product quality.

Food contact material compliance is covered within our network by Institut Kuhlmann, an ifp-labs company. Their accredited experts perform migration testing, MOSH/MOAH screening and comprehensive compliance assessments across plastics, paper and board, coatings, elastomers, metals and multi-material structures.

Combining pharmaceutical-grade instrumentation with regulatory expertise, we deliver scientifically robust results to support compliance, risk assessment and regulatory decision-making.
