id=\"h-analytical-equipment-at-the-cutting-edge-of-technology\">Analytical equipment at the <strong>cutting edge<\/strong> of <strong>technology<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">At Phytocontrol, innovation is a strategic priority: nearly 20% of our revenue is invested in research and development every year. This commitment is backed by a dedicated team, an analytical equipment base fitted with the latest technologies, and leading strategic and technological monitoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since 2021, our R&amp;D has had its own building: a modern 900 m\u00b2 space designed to foster innovation, bringing together state-of-the-art laboratories, offices, meeting rooms and a relaxation area. Engineers, chemists, biochemists and agronomists work there every day to address the growing health challenges of the food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This research dynamic \u2014 fuelled by the accumulation of knowledge, the continuous development of our skills and the deployment of our creativity \u2014 enables our laboratory to stay ahead in terms of know-how and innovation. It also opens the door to privileged partnerships with our suppliers, with whom we co-develop tomorrow&#8217;s technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A methodological rigour serving reliability<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The work of our R&amp;D teams is based on strict validation criteria that guarantee the quality of our results: <strong>Accuracy<\/strong>, <strong>Precision<\/strong> and <strong>Robustness<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Accuracy<\/strong> refers to a method&#8217;s ability to deliver a result close to the expected true value. <strong>Precision<\/strong> refers to a method&#8217;s ability to provide similar results when a test is repeated, whether under the same conditions (same laboratory, same operator) or under different conditions (other laboratories, other operators). Lastly, <strong>robustness<\/strong> reflects a method&#8217;s ability to remain reliable even when analytical conditions vary slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">It is by relying on these requirements that the Phytocontrol Laboratory develops and validates its analytical methods.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our mission The Phytocontrol Group is a technological and human project working towards water and&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":545686,"parent":9773,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"page_category":[],"class_list":["post-14370","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.4 (Yoast SEO v28.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Research and Development Laboratory - Phytocontrol<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Phytocontrol reinvests in research and development with a specialised scientific team developing reliable analytical methods for water and food safety.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Research &amp;
