A leading national research laboratory presented revolutionary radiological methods for food product control, meeting the strictest international standards. The new tests possess full ISO 17025 accreditation and allow thorough analysis of potential radiation contaminants.

Experts developed specialized research protocols for detailed examination of various food groups. The methodology covers precise determination of gamma radionuclides, strontium-90, radon-222, and other potentially dangerous substances in grain crops, vegetable oils, feed, and drinking water.

A key advantage of the new tests is the extremely short processing time. Standard samples are analyzed between two and five working days, while in urgent cases, results can be ready in just eight hours. This allows for quick and reliable decisions in the food control and trade chain.

The innovative research is aimed at maximum consumer protection and guaranteeing the complete safety of food products before their processing or distribution.
