Food and Water Laboratory Solutions

We equip food and water laboratories with everything needed for quality and safety testing: from needs assessment and design, to instruments, reagents and furniture, through installation, commissioning, training and maintenance, as part of our Lab Turnkey Projects service.

We work with specialized global partners, such as VELP Scientifica and Behr Labor-Technik for food and feed analysis, to give our clients in the public and private sectors reliable solutions that save time and deliver accurate results.

Water analysis

Complete water and wastewater analysis solutions for the water, food & beverage, petrochemical and specialized laboratory sectors.

  • Spectrophotometers for water analysis
  • Turbidimeters
  • Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) instruments
  • Lab meters and probes
  • Reagents and ready-to-use cuvette tests

We measure pH, conductivity, total dissolved solids (TDS), salinity, dissolved oxygen and oxidation reduction potential (ORP), with ready-to-use cuvette tests approved for more than 50 parameters from ammonium to zirconium.

Food and feed analysis

Italian VELP Scientifica and German Behr Labor-Technik instruments, from sample preparation to extraction.

  • VELP Kjeldahl digestion unit Automatic Kjeldahl digestion units
  • Behr Kjeldahl digestion system Kjeldahl digestion systems (8, 12 and 20 samples)
  • VELP fiber analyzer Fiber analyzers
  • VELP solvent extractor Solvent extractors
  • Behr fat hydrolysis system Hydrolysis and fat extraction systems

Applications include nitrogen and protein determination by Kjeldahl and Dumas, fat determination by extraction (Soxhlet and Randall) including bound fat, and raw and dietary fiber determination (Weende and Van Soest). VELP brochure and Behr brochure
