Phytocontrol’s 2019 New Year wishes

We have just experienced a rich and exciting year, with strong technological and human investments in a context of sustained and controlled growth.

2019 will bring all the challenges of performance, sustainable development, eco-technological innovation and compliance with our commitments. All Phytocontrol teams are committed to providing the most reliable and innovative solutions to guarantee tomorrow the best European expertise in the service of authenticity and food and water safety.

What crystallises the Phytocontrol project and unites us: proximity, responsiveness and expertise; committed and dynamic men and women who work every day to improve the service we provide to our customers.

This year, Phytocontrol will strengthen its territorial network in France and internationally, will roll out new local laboratories, building on the success of Phytocontrol Proxilab Bretagne, and will continue its investments in innovation in particular to ensure customers have full control over turnaround times; logistics capacity will be significantly expanded, and office teams structured for greater availability and responsiveness.

The new analyses we will offer in 2019 will notably cover the issue of food fraud, with new NGS and NMR solutions for authenticating animal and plant species. We will continue developing our antibiotic screenings, launch radioactivity measurement in water and food, finalise the development of nanoparticle analyses, and of course, continue refining our contaminant expertise, with pesticide screenings on complex products, the development of innovative methods for metabolite integration, and the deployment of our microbiology offering in regions, which we will continue to strengthen and complement with rapid qualitative analysis by MALDI-TOF.

All these challenges are made possible with the help of our R&D team, nearly 40 employees this year, dedicated to developing innovative methods and ensuring the reliability of the analyses we offer, for water and food.

All the teams at Phytocontrol laboratory wish you a wonderful 2019, full of peace, unexpected surprises and positive changes.
