consumable storage facilities

LabSPACE Africa is an private company that offers facilities for international and local researchers in South Africa. Our space for research space and storage space to store longer-term samples and areas in our climate units for stability assessments. Our aim is to lower expenses for lab equipment, lab overheads as well as operational costs, so that research can be conducted more efficiently and more cost-effectively.

LabSPACE runs its own analytical chemistry services. It offers laboratories as well as office space to academia, industry and private researchers, while providing access to our entire analytical and general analytical equipment to help from sample creation to reports.

We'd like to create LabSPACE Africa facilities in South Africa that give our customers and ourselves a competitive advantages in various research areas.

For clients looking for a partnership or wanting to rent laboratory space, LabSPACE gives them access to analytical laboratories with competitive rates to operate their own facilities without the cost of running your own laboratory.

Laboratory space includes inclusion in compliance-based services and operations that relate to compliance with local regulations, the safety of staff, as well as the treatment of chemical and biological waste.

We can assist you in setting your space, or we can provide space in our facilities.

EQUIPMENT

Private sector labs are at a expensive and risky equipment acquisitions. LabSPACE Africa is working with industry leaders to provide analytical equipment. Equipment are available with the required support for analytical analysis at our Midrand facilities. Equipment can also be placed on lease to our client's facility to complete a particular project, so that our partners do not be squandered on equipment that they only used sporadically or for a single time. After the project is complete, all equipment will be serviced and maintained by qualified personnel. The maintenance documents and other records are also available.

Academic institutions currently acquire expensive equipment through grant applications that slows their research. LabSPACE Africa can expedite this process and enable researchers to assess the best solution for their requirements prior to signing a contract, or perhaps leasing the equipment, or at our facilities.

Biobanking

BIOBANKING

Biological samples form the backbone of clinical research and research trials. Samples from backup trials or research samples are usually stored for future analysis, and the preservation of these samples is vital to further research or analysis. LabSPACE Africa has long-term storage units that are available at different temperatures (5degC 5degC; -20degC; between -80degC and 160degC). When samples arrive at our facility, the samples are marked with cryo labels, stored in conventional (2ml) cryo boxes and uploaded to our cloud-based LIMS. Beyond Wireless remotely monitors temperature and offers backup power.

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
