Research

As a spin-off from the Department of Crop Protection Chemistry of the University of Ghent, FYTOLAB has maintained, until today, a scientific and evidence-based approach to research and analysis. This approach is supported with the use of highly-technological, mainly chromatographic, analytical equipment.

At the request of customers FYTOLAB performs specific research projects. This could be as a part of a larger or as a stand alone project. The service of FYTOLAB in the field of research lies in:

• Development of analytical methods
• Development of validation files for specific matrices-pesticides-contaminants
• Quantification of natural health-promoting substances in food
• Participations in international ring programmes and proficiency tests
• Analysis of formulations of pesticides
• Participation in national and international research projects related to contaminants
