Laboratory operating in the agri-food sector based in Quargnento, in the province of Alessandria, Northern Italy. It was founded in November 1993, with members representing producers of the local area and SATA; born as a service and laboratory center to promote the competitiveness of agriculture, control and enhance food production. The close synergy with SATA, an Agronomists' company founded in 1986, allowed us to develop the analytical activity up to the current position: a qualified laboratory for the analysis of residues of plant protection products and other contaminants to support controls of supply chain. Cadir Lab operates today for all the different subjects of the agri-food sector: agrochemical and seeds companies, food industial companies, distribution chains, with the ambition to integrate the analytical services with quality and organoleptic controls and determinations oriented to the valorization of the products.
