Tell us your country, industry and required parameters. We confirm the applicable standards and quote.
We ship a pre-paid sampling kit with certified containers, ice packs, instructions and a return waybill.
You collect samples following our written procedure, or we arrange a qualified sampler.
Samples are processed at our ACCREDIA-accredited laboratory under documented chain of custody.
You receive a digitally signed bilingual report ready for audit, export or compliance use.
We use liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), aligned with EPA 533, EPA 537.1 and ISO 21675. Limits of quantification are at or below the EU 2020/2184 single-substance threshold of 0.1 µg/L for the regulated 20 PFAS.
Yes. ACCREDIA-accredited reports are accepted by border control authorities in all ILAC-MRA jurisdictions and are routinely used in export documentation for the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and the Gulf Cooperation Council countries.
Our food industry programme is built around the water-related clauses of BRC Global Standards, IFS Food, SQF and FSSC 22000. We provide the parameter sets, sampling frequencies and bilingual reports auditors expect.
We dispatch a pre-paid sampling kit including certified containers, ice packs, sampling instructions and a return waybill (DHL or UPS). Samples are returned to our laboratory by overnight or two-day shipping depending on origin.
On-site sampling by our qualified technicians is available across Italy. For other countries we work with vetted partner samplers or train your in-house staff under documented procedures.
Yes. Annual contracts are available for hotels, food manufacturers, hospitals and residential complexes, with scheduled sampling, automated reminders and consolidated reporting.
Reports are issued as digitally signed PDFs delivered by encrypted email and through our customer portal. Bilingual Italian/English reports are available on request at no extra cost.
Our ACCREDIA scope covers chemical and microbiological testing of drinking water, food, environmental and industrial waters. Method-by-method scope details are available on request — see our ISO 17025 page for an overview.
