At Qualitek Labs, you can avail of compliance monitoring services covering a wide spectrum of parameters.

Is it necessary to have compressed air quality testing and illumination testing important for workplaces?

Government and concerned authorities have set specific standards for illumination and air quality in workplaces. Our compressed air quality testing services checks if the air system meet standards for specific industries to ensure contamination-free operations. Similarly, illumination testing evaluates the lighting levels in workplaces and public areas to verify compliance and safety.

Chemical & Organoleptic Testing

Chemical analysis of food items, ingredients, and preservation materials are mandatory in ensuring the safety and quality of food. The following are the tests we carry out at our labs:

Preservatives & Additives: Benzoates, sorbates, nitrates, antioxidants
Nutrient Stability Studies: Monitor degradation over shelf life
Off-Flavour Testing: Rancidity, off-odour, taste issues
Moisture & Texture: Gravimetric and instrumental analysis
Colour & Texture Stability: Evaluated under stress conditions

Residue & Contaminant Testing

Chemical residue from pesticides and fertilisers, and contamination caused during the processing and packaging can tamper the quality of food items. At Qualitek Labs, we offer in-depth residue analysis to detect harmful substances in food; here is a list of tests we provide:

Pesticide Residues: Over 700 molecules using GC-MS/MS & LC-MS/MS
Antibiotic Residues: In meat, milk, and processed food
Heavy Metals: Lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury via ICP-MS
Veterinary Drugs & Mycotoxins: Compliant with EU and CODEX standards

Food Contact Material (FCM) Testing

The quality of the martials of for packaging alters the quality of the food item we consume. The materials could leach into the food items changing the proportion of the food item; in order to understand more about it, we carry out tests such as:

Migration Testing: As per IS, EU 10/2011, USFDA, LFGB
Barrier Property Analysis: OTR, MVTR
Compatibility Studies: Packaging-food interaction

Nutritional Labelling & Regulatory Compliance

Knowing the nutritional value of food items, we consume is not just a compliance requirement but a valid human right. We test the quantity of nutrients present in food items allowing authentic nutritional labelling.

Proximate Composition: Proteins, carbs, fats, sugar, energy, fibre
Micronutrient Testing: Vitamins & minerals
Amino Acid Profiling: Label claims like ‘Complete Protein’
Vegan Verification & V-Mark: FSSAI-compliant
GMO Testing: Detection of GM components

Shelf-Life & Stability Studies

Another mandatory government regulation for food products is the display of expiry date and manufacturing date on the packaging material. A proper shelf-life study helps in understanding the time until which the property of the product remains intact.

Accelerated Shelf-Life Testing (ASLT): High temp/humidity models
Real-Time Stability Testing: Under standard storage conditions
Simulation Studies: Frozen, refrigerated, ambient conditions
