You paid for a declared analysis. Send us 500 g and we will measure what the bag really contains, whoever made it. If it is a VAN bag, send the batch number instead and we will give you the certificate for that batch, free.
If the bag says 46% nitrogen, we measure the nitrogen. Our number and the bag's number are then yours to compare, in writing.
Counterfeit fertilizer is caught by what it does not contain. Appearance proves nothing; an analysis is evidence you can put in front of a dealer.
Send more than one bag and compare. Each is booked, coded and analysed separately — the second sample tells you nothing about the first.
You are in a considerably stronger position holding a measurement than holding a suspicion, and it costs less than the bag did.
Every batch VAN produces is tested in this laboratory before it leaves the plant. That certificate already exists, and it belongs to whoever bought the batch as much as it belongs to us. Send the batch number printed on the bag and we will send it to you. No charge, no sample to post, no form.
And if you would rather not take our own certificate for it, send the product in and have it measured independently — it goes to the same desk, gets the same code, and is run by two analysts who will not know it is ours.
Online or on WhatsApp. Tell us what the product is and which tests you want. You get a reference number.
YouBy weight, from the bag — solid or liquid. Enough for two analyses and the portion we retain.
YouBring it to the laboratory, hand it to your VAN dealer, or courier it. We confirm when it arrives.
YouThe measured values and the methods used, signed by the QC Manager.
VAN LabNot sure which tests to ask for? Tell us what the label declares and we will tell you which parameters measure it. That is a question about our price list, not agronomic advice.
500 g, one reference number, and an accredited answer.
