Staffordshire Scientific ServicesScientific

Staffordshire Scientific Services has built up 80 years of expertise (since 1929) in carrying out scientific analysis to protect the public and has more than 20 highly qualified and well-trained staff and 2 Public Analysts.

We are an Official Food Enforcement Laboratory accredited to the UKAS Quality Standard ISO/IEC17025. Our customers include local authorities, private businesses, the emergency services and members of the public.

We have a partnership with Leicestershire Scientific Services with a shared board of management, shared budget and objectives. Our new website is at www.scientificservices.org.uk

Testing includes:

  • Food and drink analysis - for example full nutritional analysis for fat, salt, sugars; water content; mould; contaminant and allergen detection; the presence of genetically modified  material; pesticide residues; DNA tests to identify meat species.
  • Agricultural Analysis - feeds and fertilisers
  • Environmental testing - materials, waste materials, pollution and fuel analysis
  • Water analysis
  • Consumer product testing
  • Blood-alcohol testing
  • Bacteriological testing

In addition to chemical and biological analysis we can help with pre-test advice (for example agreeing a programme of testing, advice on sampling procedures and identifying possible problems) and after-test advice (which may include advising on courses of action, or on applicable legislation and suggesting future methods of monitoring).
