Our metal testing laboratory in Liverpool, UK, is accredited by UKAS to ISO 17025 , purpose-built and fully equipped with traditional and modern instrumentation to provide fast, reliable and accurate results for commercial metal testing and metal analysis of copper, zinc, lead, gold, silver, platinum and palladium (also found in auto catalyst products),cobalt, tantalum, titanium, tin, iron, and minor metals from active mine productions.

We do this for metal refineries and on behalf of traders at the consumer end of the metal value chain, as well as geochemical and environmental analysis for approved mining-exploration companies and mine audits for governments in developing countries.

Our aquaculture and  agriculture laboratories  carry out GAFTA and FOSFA-approved analyses on sealed shipping samples, contract and international reference samples for oils, fats, oilseeds, edible nuts, fatty acids, acid oils, distillates, animal feed, tallow, render, grain, wheat, rye, barley, oats, millet, peas, beans, soya, fish and food products.

Our laboratories in Liverpool in the UK and Shanghai in China also provide food test lab analysis and certification for food-labelling factors such as chemical, nutritional and calorific values, trace metal detections for animal feeds and biomass. Microbiological testing for major pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms includes processed cooked or uncooked meats, food and dairy products.

Robust environmental analysis

Our environmental laboratories work to ISO standards and report organic and non-organic parameters to ppm and ppb levels. Types of environmental analysis include: waters and bacteria in water, pollutants, heavy metals, anions, seawater; soils and sewage treatment for heavy industry; environmentally sensitive mining projects and geological research and development projects.
