To ensure the accuracy and reliability of the results, it is recommended that separate samples be sent for:

• microbiological and chemical analyses
• for the following sub-analyses:
  • Sulphates
  • Water activity
  • Nitrates and/or nitrites in food
  • Allergens
  • Vitamins
  • For some olive oil and water analyses
• each time point of the product lifetime study

(contact the lab for more information)

The samples must be accompanied by the analysis order form, which can be downloaded from here.

Please always state the name of the company and the invoice number, as well as send a copy of the transaction to the company’s email (accounting[at]chema.gr).

We remain at your disposal for any clarification you may need.

Do not freeze samples for microbiological analysis.

For perishable products, it is recommended to place an ice pack inside the box to maintain a low temperature.
