The central and historical laboratory of N\u00eemes and the Phytocontrol Proxilab in Brittany have greeted COFRAC assessors for the accreditation of the new methods of analysis and the monitoring of current methods in the Agrifood <\/a>and Hydrology<\/a> departments.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We passed! The auditors of the French Accreditation Committee, who came in large numbers to cover all the analytical services, gave their confidence in the fields evaluated, a guarantee of expertise and high quality of the Laboratory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, Phytocontrol widens its fields of competence and becomes the first accredited laboratory <\/b> in France on cosmetic allergens<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another pledge of excellence and expertise of the biotechnology and contaminants poles, COFRAC has also given its confidence in the extension of GMO species <\/b> and drug residues<\/b><\/a> with new accredited methods notably on honey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The audits allowed Phytocontrol to integrate new analyses in fixed and flexible scopes, in order to extend its pool of accredited analyses :<\/p>\n\n\n\n
