Our partner IMPRINT Analytics, performing stable isotope determinations (IRMS) for geographic origin proof for us celebrated its 5th anniversary.

On June, 15th, 2018 the Technology Center Mittelburgenland (TZM) turned into a party location in red-gray. 150 invited guests, among them also Ms Mag. Eva Danninger lab leader of our Austrian food microbiology lab in Pischelsdorf as “neighbours” from the Steiermark and Dr. Frank Mörsberger, Group Manager Food Analysis from our headquarters didn’t miss the opportunity to congratulate Dr. Bernd Bodiselitsch (founder and CEO of IMPRINT Analytics) and his team to their 5^th anniversary.

In his opening speech Dr. Bodiselitsch looked back on the 5-year history of Imprint Analytics GmbH and revealed some anecdotes from the exciting first years. The original idea when founding of the company - checking and securing the origin, identity and authenticity of products with the help of isotope analysis - turned out to be a successful concept. AGROLAB^GROUP early recognised the opportunity to start a successful co-operation with IMPRINT Analytics by expanding our range of analytical services and getting access to the expertise with the unique isotope fingerprinting technology. On the other hand AGROLAB supports IMPRINT Analytics by “classical” food analysis e.g. pesticide residue testing. So a real win-win-win situation for AGROLAB, IMPRIMNT and our clients.

The central theme of the following panel discussion was the hot topic “Food Fraud“ and possibilities of detection or even better prevention. Many visitors took the opportunity to participate in a guided tour through the lab to get an impression of the daily work.

We wish IMPRINT Analytics all the best for the next 5 years and are looking forward in continuing our great collaboration.
