To ensure the safety and error-free declaration of our customers' products, we have adapted our methods and replaced them with more sensitive procedures. The detection limit has been reduced by a factor of 100 in some cases due to improved testing methods.
In our Tentamus Laboratories we regularly conduct allergen testing. We provide you with fast and reliable results.
