We combine scientific expertise with practice-oriented technology - for more efficient and precise analyses worldwide. Get to know our company, our mission and the people behind it.
History
Our mission: Innovative solutions for global challenges
We meet the most pressing challenges of food safety with precise and sustainable technologies. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), up to 25 % of food worldwide is contaminated with mycotoxins. A problem that will worsen massively as climate change progresses. These mold toxins can have serious health consequences. With our rapid test system, we offer a reliable solution to identify such contaminants precisely and efficiently. The groundbreaking SAFIA technology was awarded the DeepTech Award in the ‘Sustainability and Social Impact’ category in 2024 - a testament to our leading role in the development of sustainable analytical methods.
