Fields of analysis:

FOOD

  • Determination of complete nutritional and energy values ​​(water content, dry matter, protein, fat, a type of fatty acids, cholesterol content, ash, crude fiber, carbohydrates, sugar, salt, sodium ...) and expressing the GDA values ​​for declaration
  • Determination of heavy metals as food contaminants (lead, cadmium, mercury, arsenic, tin, nickel ...)
  • Determination of pesticide residues (organochlorine and organophosphorus)
  • Determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and polychlorinated biphenyls
  • Determination of mycotoxins
  • Determination of additives (polyphosphates, nitrites, dyes, preservatives ...)
  • Determination of micro and macro elements (sodium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, copper, zinc, selenium, manganese ...)
  • Determination of other quality parameters according to the current regulations for a particular type of food
  • Declaration of conformity checks for all kinds of food with the applicable Rules

WINE, BEER AND SPIRITS

  • Determinion of alcoholic strength and methanol
  • Determination of sugars, total acidity, volatile acidity, total and free SO2, pH, density, extract ...

FEED (ready-mixed, feed ingredients and mineral supplements)

  • Determination of complete nutritional and energy values ​​(water content, dry matter, protein, fat, a type of fatty acids, ash content, crude fiber, carbohydrates, sodium...)
  • Determination of heavy metals as contaminants (lead, cadmium, mercury, arsenic, fluorine ...)
  • Determination of pesticide residues (organochlorine and organophosphorus)
  • Determination of mycotoxins
  • Determination of micro and macro elements (sodium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, copper, zinc, selenium, manganese ...)
  • Determination of other quality parameters under the applicable Rules

ITEMS OF GENERAL USE

  • Verification of compliance with the rules for all types of cases and containers which come into direct contact with food (made of metal, paper, wood, glass, clay or artificial materials)
  • Checking the conformity of toys

The Laboratory perform physical and chemical testing of these parameters in accordance with applicable legal requirements and to the needs of the client. Tests are carried out with standardized methods of which most are accredited under ISO / IEC 17025, and the rest are in the plan of accreditation. On the basis of the test results expert opinions with regard to the applicable legal regulations as well as experiential and literature data are made.
