As a life science company, supporting producers in ensuring the quality of their products is our top priority. Among other things, we analyze food contact materials (FCM).

We are excited to introduce a new methodology recently added to our portfolio:

Through the use of an HPLC-MS/MS method, vitamins B1 (Thiamine), B2 (Riboflavin), B6 (Pyridoxine, Pyridoxal, Pyridoxamine), Niacin (B3), Pantothenic Acid (B5), and Biotin (B7) are selectively and collectively detected. As this is a modular system, you have the freedom to choose which of these vitamins to be analyzed.

Sustainability has been a major issue within Lavetan for many years. In 2022, Lavetan launched a charter, a three-year plan to progressively embed the 17 United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into the company. So far, several goals have been achieved and plans developed for next year. An in-house Lavetan sustainability team has also been set up. Katrijn Verbeek, Scientific Manager at Lavetan, discusses the approach.

Our colleague, Axel Haack, was given the great opportunity to showcase the GBA Group Pharma laboratories and secondly he visited GBA Pharma Labs (part 2/5).
