All plants and crops require specific nutrient elements to grow, but soils vary in their ability to provide the correct balance of nutrients for a variety of reasons, including soil type, environmental conditions, crop removal, and the application of soil amendments such as manure, compost, commercial fertiliser, or crop residues.

QuantiLAB provides the tests necessary, as described below, to establish the characteristics of the soil, allowing you to make informed decisions about crop management.

  • NPK
  • pH
  • Organic Matter
  • Conductivity
  • Pesticide Residues
  • Elements such as Calcium, Magnesium, Sulfur, Sodium, Copper, Iron, Lead, Cadmium, Chromium, Molybdenum, Arsenic, Zinc, Manganese, Aluminium, Boron, Mercury etc.

Air analysis is fast evolving as environmental awareness and accountability for attaining greater air quality grow. QuantiLAB employs innovative methods and technology for both indoor and outdoor air monitoring. The parameters which can be performed for air analysis include:

  • Carbon dioxide
  • Carbon monoxide
  • Ozone
  • PM 2.5
  • PM 10
  • Volatile Organic Compounds
  • Ammonia
  • Hydrogen Sulphide
  • Sulphur dioxide
  • Nitrogen dioxide
  • Temperature
  • Pressure
  • Relative Humidity
  • TVC
  • Yeast and moulds

The presence of undesirable or harmful microbes in regulated areas in manufacturing facilities can harm the ultimate product, the consumer as well as the company’s reputation.

Surface swab testing is a good method for monitoring corners, work surfaces, knobs, gloves, equipment and difficult-to-reach areas in your facility. QuantiLAB also offers Hand swab testing on food handlers.

Environmental monitoring on a regular basis helps manufacturers to ensure that hazardous bacteria are not affecting their products. Microbiological testing can help check that your procedures and hygiene control measures are effective.

Microbiological and Chemical residue testing assists clients in meeting program and certification standards such as HACCP, BRC, and GMP, among others.
