Equipment and laboratory engineering
 

The current stiffening of food quality and security requirements dictates more and more analytical controls at every link in the food production and processing chains.

The need of analytical control exists currently mainly for food contaminants (pesticides, mycotoxins, GMO, dioxins…) and shows up today through the use of more and more sophisticated and efficient techniques of analysis and laboratory equipment.

To meet this need, Experagro is currently one the few bodies able to provide a complete service from the precise identification of your need to the start-up of your laboratory (turnkey laboratory).

Experagro gives you the opportunity to lay down this long and tedious task (equipment identification, tendering, start-up, training) completely and ensures you the best economical and best suitable solution to your analytical needs.

 

 Our services

Experagro is able to intervene in France and elsewhere to set-up or strengthen analysis laboratories (public or private) in the agricultural, food and environmental fields.
