Rice Quality Testing in London, UK

Enquiry:

I am reaching out to inquire about the possibility of analyzing the quality of rice grains. 

I am contacting you because I found your web page (https://www.accreditedtestlabs.com/testing/agricultural-products/rice-quality-testing/).

We have a project in Ebro Delta in Spain to grow rice without any inputs. We got a lot of broken rice last year and I have just received this year’s sample grain with husk (approx. 130g).

I would like to test the brown rice harvested in 2022 as well so that we can compare them.

1. Can you analyse these rice? 

2. Would you also be able to analyse Amylose content?

We are based in London, United Kingdom. We prefer to test in the UK but if you can test in Europe, please let me know.

Liquid Soap Testing in UK

Enquiry:

I am from the UK. I have already sent samples off to two labs but they can not accredit the results, so I am hoping that you might be able to help.

In short, I make liquid soap using a ‘Water Kefir’ base. I am trying to get either the soap or water kefir tested for LAB, any probiotics, or anything, such as vitamins or minerals, within the content that can enhance certification and trust.

My water kefir is classed as a water, juice or fermented drink so after reading a few pages on your website I feel that you might be able to help with this. I am not sure if you can help with testing the liquid soap though. Please advise on this.

Going by the above can you please let me know if you can help, and if so any test prices and details.
