Biotechnology Division Analytical Tests

Our complex analytical laboratories are capable of measuring a wide range of organic and inorganic components, and if standard methods of accredited laboratories do not yield results and/or you are working with unique samples, our team is ready to help you find a solution to your measurement challenges.

The need for elemental and organic analytical testing often arises in the detection and treatment of secondary raw materials, the assessment of environmental damage caused by toxic metals and organic components, food contamination testing and many other areas.

Based on our experience, and knowing the complexity of the studies, we offer a customised and personalised measurement service, supported by ongoing consultation and collaborative thinking.

Services

The measurement results are provided to the customer in the form of a report, and our laboratory is ISO 9001 certified.

Please contact our colleagues for information on the component to be measured, the matrix containing it, the lower measurement limit, the deadline for providing results and the required sample quantity.

We have already addressed these challenges:

Elemental analytics

  • Analysis of rare earth elements in plant parts grown on special soils.
  • Analysis of the valuable recoverable metal content of waste batteries.
  • Analysis of the chromium content of food potentially contaminated with heavy metal containing dyes.
  • Coating bath test in a galvanising plant.
  • Investigation of the composition of pollution of unknown origin deposited on a filter.
  • Investigation of slags, fly ash, red mud, mine drainage, leachate.

Organic analytics

  • Identification of metabolites produced during spoilage of food samples, measurement of organic acids, sugars, sugar alcohols
  • Qualitative and quantitative analysis of allergens in cosmetic products and essential oils (Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009)
  • Determination of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids
  • Measurement of CBD-THC active substances, vitamins in hemp products, food supplements
  • Measurement of VOC components (halogenated volatile, BTEX, alkylbenzenes and solvent residues) from sludge, water or food
  • Analysis and comparison of oils used in the automotive industry, instruments
  • Monitoring concentration changes during alcohol distillation of certain alcohol-containing plant extracts
  • Development and implementation of custom measurements where a standard exists
