Some of our International Partners

 Food Safety, Quality Control & Hygiene Monitoring Solutions 

Detection, rapid testing, analytical control and documentation for the producer who controls their own line — Romer Labs, Gold Standard Diagnostics, Dutrion, and our own INNVOLUTIONS (R) PRO-TECT. 

 All these are facets of the same question: "how do I know it's safe?" 

 Laboratory Verification 

 Proficiency testing and certified reference materials for laboratories and QA departments — verifying their own measurement, not checking a production line. 

 We're not delivering "one more test" — we're delivering confidence in the measurement of a laboratory, through independent proficiency testing.

    • AgraStrip® Pro WATEX® lateral-flow test kits for key mycotoxins including aflatoxins, DON, fumonisins, ochratoxin A, zearalenone and T-2/HT-2.
    • AgraVision™ Pro reader for automated quantitative measurement and standardized testing.
    • Romer Labs Data Manager for test-data collection, transfer and traceability.
    • Rapid screening solutions suitable for grain intake, silos, feed mills, food production and other on-site testing environments.

Key Benefits

    • Fast results — approximately 4-minute assay time, with multiple samples tested simultaneously.
    • Simple workflow — streamlined extraction and dilution with minimal preparation steps.
    • On-site decision-making — enables rapid assessment of incoming raw materials before they enter production.
