ABO’s expanding member benefits are paying off! Last spring we rolled out an exclusive, discounted laboratory testing program for all ABO Members with our trusted partner Eurofins Craft Technologies. So far that program has saved thousands of dollars for ABO members. Hawaii-based Cyanotech has been able to reduce their contact laboratory testing budget by 20% with the program, more than making up for the cost of membership dues.
“The team at Eurofins has been extremely flexible and their customer service has been fantastic, “ said Jen Johansen, Vice President of Quality, Regulatory & Government Affairs at Cyanotech. “The testing program is valuable for your existing testing needs, and is also valuable for new product development priorities. Eurofins Craft Labs are able to support businesses with test method development to uncover marketable new product attributes.”
The discounts available to members include a wide range of testing services, and the staff at Eurofins are open to custom arrangements. Some of the testing conducted has included those for astaxanthin, fucoxanthin, heavy metals, pesticides, fatty acids, protein content, DHA, amino acids, nutritional labels and more.
Startups looking to increase their testing capacity and larger ABO members hoping to save on their testing budgets can all benefit from the service.
