We design and manage research environments that are fit for purpose, scalable, and aligned with both local and global priorities.

In collaboration with the AF4RICA Lab and other leading research institutes, our expert soil sampling team offers a comprehensive range of laboratory analysis services to support applied research and agricultural decision-making.

Our testing capabilities include:

• Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) packages
• Wet chemistry analyses, including fibre, nitrogen, and carbon content
• Crude fat analysis
• Digestibility testing
• Moisture content analysis
• Bioenergy potential analysis
• Evaluation of physical, chemical, and biological soil properties

These services are ideal for researchers, producers, and industry partners looking to optimise input use, assess environmental health, or advance product development through reliable, data-driven insight.
