As part of the Laboratory Accreditation Program, the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) has granted Lipid Analytical Laboratories Inc. accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025:2017. (LAP). The accreditation process allows laboratories to demonstrate proof of their technical competence and ability to meet a performance benchmark. Lipid Analytical Laboratories’ (Lipid Labs) scope of accreditation for fatty acid testing is the most comprehensive in the industry. (Accredited Laboratory No. 838) Established in 1991, Lipid Labs has been located on the first floor of the University of Guelph Research Park Centre ever since. It is fully equipped with advanced technologies and chromatographic systems for conducting research and analytical services on various lipids and fatty acid components in any biological materials. There is significant movement in both academic and commercial operations towards the development of foods lower in cholesterol, trans-fatty acids, and saturates but, higher in omega-3 fatty acids (recently established as an essential nutrient in the diet). The agrifood industries are focusing on the production of more nutritious designer foods, nutraceuticals, and specialized health products with modified fatty acid profiles. We provide analytical and research services on many lipid compositional parameters in human or animal feeding trials, and clinical research trials for medical centres, and universities. Various industries and food companies are satisfied repeat customers based on our quality service in this very specialized area of lipids and fatty acid analyses. Industries we work with include: Food oil manufacturing Nutritional supplements & health products Animal feed & meals Agriculture Food processors Dairy producers Meat & seafood products Pharmaceutical products ...and many others
