HOW DOES IT HELP YOU?

 

Domotest can help you to choose the best area and time to harvest, preventing extraction of contaminated molluscs from areas near those ones closed due to presence of these toxins.
Performing shelf-control with Domotest before harvesting or as end-product testing you can assure molluscs are fit for consumption and avoid unnecessary process contaminated products.

If you are an analytical laboratory, you will be able to offer results in a very short time and optimize costs, since Domotest allows you to analyse up to 41 samples in about 1 hour.
