Nasertic’s analytical laboratory is equipped with specialised instruments and staffed by highly experienced technical personnel in the delivery of analytical services for the agriculture and livestock sector (animal health and nutrition, food safety, environmental sustainability, etc.). Its objective is to provide analytical support that ensures and certifies that products of animal and plant origin comply with current legislation, optimise production, verify traceability, support breed selection and genetic improvement, protect consumer health, and assist the agricultural and livestock sector in meeting national and international standards. Nasertic is working to expand the number of services included within the scope of accreditation under the ISO/IEC 17025 standard.
The analytical services aimed at food safety provided by Nasertic are:
Water, soil, etc. control
Residue and contaminant control
Animal feed control
Germination
Detection of heavy metals in food
Detection of pathogens and encephalopathies
Genetic identification of breeds and verification of genealogies. Genotyping for improvement or disease resistance
Environmental analysis
Technical advice and consultancy
Certification and development of new analytical procedures
In addition to analytical support, Nasertic participates in intercomparison, control, and calibration programmes and shares recommendations with collaborators so that quality systems, traceability, and sample custody procedures become increasingly robust.
The analytical offering is constantly evolving to address new needs arising from technological changes, regulatory requirements, or emerging demands from different institutions.
