Analytical matrices

LEOCHIMICA organizes the samples which have to be tested in 19 specific matrices, and expresses the analytical data in the test report, which indicates also the specific parameter limit according to the standard or the guide value based on the long-lasting and rich experience of our professionals.

Therefore every sample is related to its category and every standard and non standard limit expression refers to a specific food.

Here are the matrices adopted by our chemical and microbiological food laboratories:

• Food and beverage
• Food for animal use
• Meat
• Cosmetic products
• Preserved food
• Fruit and vegetables
• Ice-cream
• Cereals
• Milk
• Materials in contact with food
• Honey
• Animal fats and oils
• Eggs and egg by-products
• Pasta products
• Seafood
• Bakery products
• Dairy products
• Swabs
• Wine

Given the extreme importance of this subject and in order to pursue certainty of analytical data, Leochimica decided to accredit most adopted methods according to the UNI CEI EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005 standard.
