Within a world where pests, pathogens, and weeds have become increasingly resistant to existing controls, our world-class capabilities and competencies will ensure our partners meet the growing demand for new compounds.

Additionally, our leading-edge knowledge, expertise and state-of-the-art technology in assessing the environmental safety of chemicals and minimising their impact on the environment supports the agri-food chain and ultimately protects the consumer.

We advise policymakers on how best to deploy limited resources for the benefit of agriculture, ecosystems and societies. We support farmers and growers to adopt more sustainable practices, and advise chemical manufacturers on how to minimise their impact on the environment. Such wide ranging collaborations, partnerships and scientific work enable us to provide robust evidence, advice and support to partners whose activities may have an impact on the environment.

Complexity across the global agri-food chain has resulted in increasingly stringent testing to improve and protect public health and deliver increased traceability.

Quality is critical to being recognised as a worldwide centre-of-excellence and partner of choice. This is why we invest time and resources in achieving and retaining Accreditation and Certification. We have more than 100 procedures covered by the UKAS accreditation to the ISO/IEC 17025 Standard* giving our partners confidence in the reports they receive. Our Quality Policy describes our commitment in meeting the requirements of the highly regulated international scientific business world. This commitment underpins our core values of quality, reliability and confidentiality in Analytical Chemistry and Consultancy.

As a National Reference Laboratory and provider of the world’s leading Laboratory Proficiency tests across food, feed and water safety, we deliver data upon which our partners can rely for quality assurance across the food chain ensuring compliance with the regulations.
