What we do
GreenHill Laboratories is a testing and consulting laboratory to the agricultural, veterinary and food industries. GHL accepts biological samples, food samples, commodity samples and agricultural samples for customers’ legislative, quality and health requirements.
GHL takes on a consultative approach to sample receipt and result release – please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any queries regarding sampling, transport conditions or anything on your test report/certificate of analysis.
GHL is also readily available for contract research, Quality Control programmes or general laboratory testing schedules. If we are unable to perform the test required, we will find a laboratory who can, on your behalf, and coordinate submission and results from that laboratory if required.
