We are pleased to announce that PiCA Prüfinstitut Chemische Analytik GmbH in Berlin is now part of the Tentamus Group. This acquisition significantly strengthens our analytical capabilities in the field of migration analysis, especially for Food Contact Materials (FCM).

In addition to services in the area of food contact materials, PiCA also offers special analyses for valuable and undesirable ingredients for consumer goods, food, cosmetics, and other material samples such as plastics, paints, and adhesives. PiCA also supports its customers with customized special analysis solutions for complex individual tests, method development, and validation.
