About AGQ Labs
AGQ Labs is a Chemical Technological Center based on a testing laboratories, advanced analysis and specialized chemical engineering. We offer high value solutions and services to the Agronomic, Food, Environmental, Mining and Health & Safety sectors. It is a mix of technology (Analytical Chemistry) and specialized sector knowledge (Applied Chemical Engineering).
Technological platform for global solutions
Through our laboratories equipped with the most advanced technology and our highly qualified staff, we have developed technical activities in the Agri-food, Environmental, Mining and Industrial sectors.
Our specialization and analytical skills have allowed us to offer services as a control laboratory, allowing us to offer specialized consulting in several sectors. We also offer inspection services and technological outsourcing in those processes that require a high attention and analytical specialization. AGQ Labs is a link between technology and knowledge, between analytical chemistry and field application.
Over the years AGQ Labs has expanded into various strategic areas of the world. Today AGQ Labs has presence in more than twenty countries with advanced technological support, one of these countries is Egypt.
Control Laboratory
Our network of laboratories has all the capabilities to perform the most complex tests in all matrix types. Our differentials reside in:
- All our laboratories are equipped with the most modern analytical instruments
- International accreditations
- Quality of results
- Fast response
- BeSafer: online platform to consult results
Technological Centre
From the beginning our vocation has always been a proactive attitude to the needs of our customers. This is why we do not just receive samples and deliver analytical results. The professionals who work in our laboratories, have a special experience in approaching projects that, finding bases on analysis and innovation, open new horizons of work. We come to the root of the problem so that we can bring the most innovative, differentiated and redefined solution for our customers.
Inspection
On many occasions a correct environmental analytical evaluation or an alimentary characterization passes through a preventive phase of inspection and sampling. AGQ Labs specializes in this type of work and is totally independent. These inspections and sampling are carried out according to ISO-17020 accreditation if there are regulatory requirements, or following a standardized internal work procedure.
Specialized Consulting
An integral part of our company model is to give equal importance to both our testing laboratories and to our specialized consulting branch within the different areas in which we work. For this reason, the analysis itself is nothing more than a source of information starting from which, through a correct technical interpretation, we give a high value service to our customers. Agronomists, geologists, environmentalists, chemists with different specializations, biologists, pharmaceuticals, etc., conform a multidisciplinary network that interacts with itself, continuously generating a form of knowledge and high competence.
