Toxicology, Drug, and Food Analysis Lab
The laboratory, established in the 1980s, was founded to provide analytical services to local and regional companies. It collaborates closely with its in-house laboratories to facilitate the development of new products and to enhance quality control procedures, thus contributing to process improvement.
Our activities encompass proximal bromatological analysis, the creation of national nutritional tables, and the design of seals for products intended for sale in Mexico, as well as those intended for export to the United States.
We conduct microbiological analysis of raw materials, packaging, food, and water. Additionally, we offer specific analysis services for quantifying minerals and heavy metals.
In addition to our core services, we offer supplementary support to our clients, including assistance with quality audits, project development, and professional advisory services.
