Ground floor, sample management
Receipt counter, photography and barcoding station, homogenisation and sub-sampling room, cold and frozen retention storage, and the courier dock. Nothing enters the laboratory unlogged.
Our laboratory facility
A purpose-planned laboratory in Andheri East with separated chemistry, instrumentation and microbiology zones, unidirectional sample flow, and an instrument bay refreshed on a rolling seven-year cycle.
First floor, instrumentation
Temperature- and humidity-controlled bays for mass spectrometry and chromatography, with dedicated sample-prep rooms, fume extraction and a UPS-backed clean power supply.
Second floor, microbiology
Class 10,000 suite with separate pathogen and non-pathogen streams, dedicated air handling, media preparation, incubation banks and a PCR room with physically separated pre- and post-amplification areas.
Instrumentation
Instrumentation
The instrument decides your limit of quantification, and your limit of quantification decides whether you can honestly say “not detected”.
| Instrument | Units | Principal use | Typical sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|
| LC-MS/MS triple quadrupole | 2 | Pesticide residues, mycotoxins, veterinary drugs, nitrosamines | 0.001 ppm |
| GC-MS/MS | 2 | Organochlorines, PAHs, ethylene oxide, flavour compounds | 0.002 ppm |
| ICP-MS with collision cell | 1 | Heavy metals and trace elements in all matrices | 0.5 ppb |
| HPLC, PDA, RID, FLD | 9 | Assay, vitamins, sugars, colours, preservatives, aflatoxins | 0.05% area |
| GC-FID / headspace GC | 4 | Fatty acid profile, trans fats, residual solvents, alcohol | 0.05 g/100 g |
| AAS, flame and graphite furnace | 2 | Routine metals, confirmatory cross-checks | 0.01 ppm |
| Real-time PCR | 3 | Pathogen screening, species ID, GMO detection | 10 copies |
| Ion chromatograph | 1 | Anions, nitrates, bromates in water and food | 0.01 mg/L |
| ICH stability chambers | 6 | Long-term, accelerated, intermediate and photostability | ±2°C / ±5% RH |
| Support equipment | – | Karl Fischer, FTIR, UV-Vis, dissolution testers, Kjeldahl, Soxhlet, texture analyser, OTR/WVTR rigs | – |
Sample integrity
Sample handling and chain of custody
The analytical result can only be as good as the custody chain behind it. Ours is deliberately documented at every handover.
Receipt & condition check
Arrival temperature, seal integrity and pack condition recorded and photographed. Non-conforming samples are flagged to you before any work begins.
Barcode & LIMS entry
A unique laboratory number is generated and printed. From this point the sample is tracked by barcode at every movement, with the operator and timestamp logged.
Homogenisation & sub-sampling
Prepared in a dedicated room with matrix-appropriate equipment, cleaned and verified between samples to prevent carry-over.
Analysis & storage
Aliquots move to the assigned bench; the remainder goes to controlled retention storage at the temperature the matrix requires.
Retention & disposal
Retention samples are held for the period your sector requires, typically 30 days for food, longer for pharmaceutical work, then disposed of under a documented procedure.

Any laboratory can write a claim on a website. Come and look at the bench, the logs and the archive, and ask to see a method validation file at random.
