The center began its activities in 1994, specializing in food product testing.
Currently, the Center is accredited and conducts tests according to more than 20 technical regulations, both food products and feed, and consumer goods, packaging, furniture, children's products, toys, electrical and radio electronics products.
The Center employs high-level specialists, including four candidates of science. They have at their disposal a wide range of modern laboratory equipment, including advanced methods for detecting falsification of products and raw materials, such as high-performance liquid chromatography with mass detection (HPLC-MS), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) , polymerase chain reaction (PCR), FT-IR spectroscopy, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) and many other classical methods of laboratory analysis. The developed testing base and personnel competencies allow us to immediately master new methods for identifying various types of product counterfeits.

Expertise of food products is an important and responsible procedure, because people’s health depends on the quality of food. Food manufacturers who care about their reputation and are interested in the constant increase in demand for their products can order laboratory tests to analyze the quality of products. Not only their producers in Moscow and other regions of Russia, but also distributors (shops, supermarkets, cafes and restaurants) and consumers, including individuals, can order an examination of food products.
Cost of food testing
Experienced professionals work in the Viking testing laboratory; we use the most modern equipment and the latest technologies to assess the quality of food products. As for the cost of laboratory tests, it is quite affordable both for large companies and for small businesses and individuals. In addition, we have developed a profitable discount system for our regular customers in Moscow and other cities.
Types of food examination
Analysis of food products is carried out to determine their compliance with the prescribed standards and GOSTs, as well as for safety for consumer health. When conducting laboratory tests of products, we use two main methods:
- physical and chemical analysis;
- microbiological analysis.
Physico-chemical examination of food products in our laboratory is carried out using special reagents and equipment; it is designed to accurately identify the following parameters of the product under study:
- moisture contents;
- energy value;
- content of harmful impurities and, if present, their percentage;
- presence of disease-causing bacteria;
- percentage of proteins, carbohydrates and fats.
Microbiological analysis is the second most important type of food analysis, a reliable check of their safety. Only he can detect the microorganisms present in the samples being tested and identify them. As a rule, these are various pathogenic organisms, the presence of which determines the development of biochemical processes in products. You can also do an examination for the presence of toxins and foreign impurities.
In addition, if necessary, in our laboratory, the services of which in Moscow can be used by any entrepreneur or any individual in Moscow at a reasonable cost, products are examined using other methods. This may be a visual assessment, histological analysis, product quality analysis or organoleptic examination. Any food products that have not undergone professional testing can cause irreparable harm to human health. Our laboratory is responsible for the quality of the research carried out, guaranteeing its reliability and authenticity.
Today, when purchasing a product, buyers do not always look at the label, and no one even talks about the quality certificate for products. Few people know that it is possible to conduct appropriate research and do microbiological studies of food products. For example, in the Vesta testing laboratory.
According to famous world scientists, the main reason for the poor health of people, especially those who live in a metropolis, is the poor ecology of products. They are conventionally divided into two types: plant and animal origin. For faster growth and development, agricultural crops are generously flavored with fertilizers. They are often used in uncontrolled quantities. The quality of the land that is used for these purposes also plays an important role.
In modern enterprises and factories, dyes, preservatives, as well as flavor and aroma enhancers are widely used in production. Microbiological studies of food products confirm the negative impact of all these additives on the human body; they can cause kidney and liver diseases. Therefore, food quality control is a mandatory measure.

Our concrete plant BETONBASE has its own laboratory, which allows us to produce consistently high-quality products. Each stage of concrete production takes place under the careful supervision of qualified employees. Every day they check that the proportions of raw materials are correct and monitor the process of mixing the concrete solution.
All described processes are performed on modern foreign-made equipment. This equipment helps employees improve the composition of concrete and create new, previously unused mixtures. Particular attention is paid to ensuring that new concrete mixtures have high resistance to compression, and for this purpose, a strict selection of constituent components is carried out in our laboratories. Thus, only high-quality materials are allowed for the production of raw materials: crushed stone, concrete, sand.

Cement quality control
In our laboratories, all batches of cement that are subsequently supplied to production are thoroughly tested for compliance with the state standard. During the inspection of raw materials, the following is determined:
- grinding fineness;
- setting time;
- density;
- brand;
- uniformity of changes in the volume of concrete mixture.
Our company BETONBASE ensures that the sand we use in production is carefully filtered from unwanted debris. The head of the laboratory personally makes a control sample of sand from the quarry before putting a batch of raw materials into production. Then the laboratory engineer determines the properties of the samples taken, such as:
- humidity;
- compound;
- fineness module;
- filtration coefficient.
Crushed stone quality control
Testing of crushed stone begins at the stage of unloading raw materials at the plant: the relevant employee takes a sample and determines compressive strength, frost resistance, studies the composition and determines the brand.
Concrete mix quality control
The list of our services includes assessing concrete in terms of water resistance, frost resistance, its compressive strength, optimizing the composition of concrete mixtures, checking chemical additives for compliance with state standards. Based on these data, laboratory technicians make a conclusion about compliance with the requirements for the material.
