Is your feed additive ready for authorization?

We perform over 100 antimicrobial susceptibility tests (MIC) each year for both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria.

We conduct thorough assessment of antimicrobial production by disc diffusion method, following EFSA guidance.

Our laboratory performs in vitro cytotoxicity tests with Vero cells, as recommended by EFSA.

We successfully verify the absence of cells in fermentation products according to appropriate principles and EFSA requirements.

Our team tests the presence of DNA in fermentation products with strain-specific PCR and according to EFSA requirements.

We conduct pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) to verify the presence of a specific microbial feed additive in nonsterile materials.

We have developed and validated in vitro efficacy methods to cover the various effects that microbial feed additives can have on feed products.

By using SDS PAGE, we obtain an overview of food enzymes for regulatory purposes, while looking for their purity and batch-to-batch variations.

We use the bacterial reverse mutation test (Ames) to successfully assess genotoxicity in food and feed products, additives, enzymes, and more.

We offer a plethora of additional laboratory services, ranging from safety assessment of packaging materials to CFU counts, gram staining, and more.
