Lab Testing
Bia Analytical provides authenticity testing for herbs, spices and flour, supporting the entire supply chain with rapid, and reliable, lab-based solutions.
We specialise in spectroscopy and advanced chemometric modelling to test the integrity of your samples.
Our untargeted approach doesn’t look for specific adulterants but instead provides a comprehensive indicator of authenticity.
Sample Size
We require at least 10g of sample for analysis (30g recommended for accuracy), or 0.5g for saffron powder.
Turnaround time
Turnaround time is typically 3 working days from receipt of sample to issuing of Certificate of Analysis.
