Our laboratories in Athens, Thessaloniki, Rethymnon, Larnaca and our collaborations with other international laboratories in Germany, Holland and Italy allow us to cover the whole range of the required laboratory tests on any substrate such as Food & Beverages (Fruits, Vegetables, Legumes , Cereals, nuts, Oil, Olives, Meat, Sausage, Milk, flour, Bread, Pasta, Honey, Confectionery Products etc.), Feed, Water, Waste-Biological Treatment, Soil, Leaves, Plant tissues and Supplements.

*For Pesticide residue testing, the decision rule applies: “a result is non-compliant with the maximum acceptable limit (MRL), when the measured value exceeds the upper limit increased by the uncertainty”.
