Climatic stability Testing

LabSPACE Africa is an unincorporated company that provides facilities to both international and local researchers from South Africa. Facilities offered comprise research space spaces for archiving samples long term, as well as areas in our climatic facilities to conduct stability tests. Our aim is to decrease the cost of equipment, laboratory overheads and operational expenses to make research more efficient and cost-effective.

LabSPACE offers chemical services. It provides lab space spaces, offices and access to all our analytical and general instruments for generating samples and reports.

We are looking to construct LabSPACE Africa facilities in South Africa that give our customers and ourselves a competitive advantage in many research areas.

LabSPACE is available to clients who want to partner or rent space in a laboratory. It provides competitive rates for them to operate their own labs with a fraction of the cost of a traditional laboratory.

The laboratory space is included in operational procedures that are compliant and pertaining to the compliance of local regulations as well as the safety of employees and the control of chemical and biological waste.

We are able to assist you in setting your space and we'll even provide space in our facility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Mycotoxins, which are toxic substances made by mold or fungi, can be poisonous. They can be harmful to humans if they are consumed, absorbed into skin, or inhaled. Even a small amount of mycotoxin could cause serious health problems for animals or humans, and even death. Mycotoxicosis is the result of mycotoxins poisoning. This condition is likely familiar to you if your coffee contains moldy coffee.

Intoxication can result from mycotoxin contamination in cereals and other feed products, particularly in farm animals. Effective analytical tools are needed to analyze the feed for toxic fungal metabolites. The current methods include an extraction step, a clean up step to remove unwanted co-extracted matrix elements and a separation step that allows for precise detection. For most mycotoxins, quantitative methods of analysis use immunoaffinity clean up with high-performance liquidchromatography (HPLC), separation in combination with ultraviolet and/or fluorescence detection.

Food, animal feed and food additives ingredients can be tested for melamine.

Melamine screening, analysis and evaluation of food-related products:
For food, agricultural products, raw materials, and ingredients, melamine testing can be done. Intertek laboratories offer cost-effective and quick testing. The melamine testing labs can quickly receive samples.

Intertek offers melamine analysis and detection services to food and agricultural companies, retailers, importers, food manufacturers, and food processors. Laboratory analysis of processed foods, animal food, wheat gluten, rice protein concentrate, and corn gluten is what melamine testing entails. The Intertek laboratories offer the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), recommended analytical methods for melamine screening, testing and quantitative analysis using Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry(GC-MS).

Melamine analysis, detection capabilities:

  • Checking food ingredients for melamine
  • Quantifications of the levels of melamine in tainted foodstuffs and ingredients
