The CZRI Laboratories and Analysis Services operate in accordance with the ISO/IEC 17025 standard and hold accreditation with the Canadian Association for Laboratory Accreditation inc. (CALA). We offer microbiological, physico-chemical and chromatography analyses (nutritional, contaminants, etc.), which are typically performed on water, wastewater, oil, and various products from the marine, aquaculture, peat and agriculture industries.

In addition to offering various analysis services, our team also conducts research and development on behalf of the industry and to support the different CZRI sectors of operation. The processing of marine products generates effluents rich in organic matter that contribute to the pollution of surrounding coastal waters and leads to a significant loss of raw material. The Laboratories and Analysis Services have lent their scientific support to numerous research projects led by the marine products processing industry in order to rectify this problem.
