Service description
THL provides analyses of persistent organic pollutants and consumer chemicals. Primarily, we carry out analyses as part of collaborative research projects, and other service-based analyses are agreed upon on a case-by-case basis. Our analytical methods are suitable for human-derived samples such as serum, breast milk and urine, as well as for foodstuffs, consumer products, water and animal feed. We also agree individually on analyses of single samples.
We can adapt our methods to meet the client’s needs and include, for example, similar compounds. If necessary, we can also develop new analytical methods for environmental contaminants.
Important information about the service
The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry has designated our laboratory as the national reference laboratory under the Feed Act (1263/2020) and the Food Act (297/2021). The laboratory meets the requirements set for reference laboratories in the EU Official Controls Regulation (2017/625).
Most of the laboratory’s methods are accredited (SFS-EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005, FINAS T077), and we apply the same level of quality control to other analyses.
Details of accreditation can be found on the individual analysis pages.
