Everything needed for food, beverage and agricultural laboratories
11 de December de 2023Here at Scharlab, we have been supplying food, beverage and agricultural laboratories since our beginnings in 1949. Laboratories in this sector are involved in the research, development and quality control of food products and play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and quality of foods that reach the consumer.
Food laboratories perform a range of tests to guarantee food safety and quality. These tests are an essential part of compliance with quality standards and ensure that food products are safe for human consumption. Some typical tests carried out in a food laboratory include: microbiological, chemical and contaminant analysis, testing for drug and pesticide residues, allergen testing and shelf-life studies.
Scharlab offers a wide range of solutions for food, beverage and agricultural laboratories.
QuEChERS extraction kits
QuEChERS is a quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe method developed for extracting multiple residues from fruits and vegetables, which works by combining two stages: extraction and dispersion. QuEChERS is now also used to extract components from a wide variety of matrices, including milk, meat, fish, liver, honey, wine and soils.
