Analysing nutritional parameters, undesirable substances, minerals and vitamins is an essential procedure for all companies involved in the food, feed and pet food production industries
Central Laboratories offers state of the art Defra approved and Ukas accredited facilities that have been developed specifically to meet the requirements of all these industries.
The company's Defra approved microbiology department provides testing for a whole spectrum of micro-organisms, including salmonella.
Alongside this facility is a department specialising in the application of near infrared spectroscopy (NIR) for dry and moist pet foods.
Central Laboratories's facilities offer the whole range of analytical testing, with over 95% of the testing undertaken conforming to the International Standard ENISO 17025.
Central Laboratories is an international supplier of calibrations for moisture, protein, fat, fibre and starch to name just a few, both for finished products and associated raw materials.
Going hand in hand with this capability is the company's Specman Gold database software.
Specman Gold allows continual monitoring of results, which many pet food manufacturers will find to be a most useful tool.
