bilacon GmbH Rotterdam is a residue analysis laboratory, specialized in express analyses of food. The site was established in 2017 providing only a sample pickup service, this year is its 5th anniversary!
In September 2019 an analytical laboratory was established with state-of-the-art instruments for gas and liquid chromatography in the hands of competent analysts, freshly trained in the main bilacon laboratory in Berlin. In December 2019 the accreditation audit was realised with positive feedback from the auditors of the Dutch Accreditation Council (Raad voor Accreditatie, RvA), who highlighted the fast and accurate validation process.
March 2020 marks the opening of its services for urgent residue analysis (pesticides, many additional parameters) to clients around the port of Rotterdam and beyond. Starting with an average of 20 samples per day, the company’s growth has sky-rocketed. Since then, the current daily sample amount has multipled, as well as staff and instruments.
To meet the needs of its rapidly growing customer base, the urgent analyses of heavy metals and ethylene oxide have been implemented, with more specialized analyses in progress.
Laboratory expansion – the analytical workspace will be doubled
An expansion of the analytical laboratory space is in planning, to adapt to the needs of bilacon’s clients. The expansion will include more space for instrumental analytics and chemical analyses, such as dry matter and sulfer dioxid (SO2).
