What can we do for you?

Following rapid developments in the market for foodstuffs and animal feed which raised the level for food safety and quality, we evolved towards high-tech laboratory services and now operate 27 labs across the globe. Our chemists can verify the nutritional value and composition of your food products in terms of moisture, fiber, carbohydrates, fats, proteins and ash. We also analyze food to identify micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals. In order to maintain food quality during shelf life, we can establish the aerobic and anaerobic plate count and determine if any yeasts and molds are present. Using organoleptic assessment, we can also test for foreign materials, damaged grain and poisonous seeds. Moreover, our portfolio includes DNA analyses such as PCR screening for GMO testing, allergen testing and baking performance parameters including Hagberg and Alveograph.

Fossil fuels and biofuels

We have specialized in fossil fuels and biofuels by offering an extensive range of analyses. From basic chemical testing to complex contamination analyses and CO2-calculation we can help sort out good from potential off-spec products. Contaminants and additives Our global network of laboratories offer a wide range of analytical expertise in the field of contaminants and additives. This includes natural contaminants such as mycotoxins, contamination that occurs during processing (PAHs and dioxins, acrylamide, trans fatty acids) and package-mediated migration. Evaluation of pesticides and antibiotics completes our analysis portfolio. Our classic microbiological methods allow us to analyze plate count, yeasts and molds to test for bacteria such as salmonella, EHEC and E. Coli O157. On the molecular level, we provide GMO-analyses and bacteriological analyses such as E. coli (STEC EHEC) and Salmonella typing by DNA micro-arrays. We are also able to detect foodborne viruses, such as HAV (hepatitis) and the norovirus.
