Eurofins North America food division announces the successful purchase of Craft Technologies, a contract laboratory providing analysis of nutrients, vitamins, carotenoids, bioflavonoids, and phytochemicals. Located in Wilson, N.C., Craft Technologies employs a team of scientists and technical staff serving private industry, governments, and academia worldwide.
With a lab that spans more than 10,000 sq ft and includes a range of instrumentation, Craft Technologies brings a broad scope of analytical services to Eurofins for products ranging from human and animal foods, to dietary supplements, biological samples, and tissues. The company also brings new vitamin analyses to the Eurofins Group, including assays for hydroxylated vitamin D and vitamin D metabolites in biological samples, and vitamin K tests for menaquinones. Recent work at Craft Technologies has focused on meeting analysis needs for vitamin K, vitamin D, bixin/norbixin, curcuminoids, anthocyanins, less common carotenoids, nutritional biomarkers, and very high-resolution separations.
“Neal and his team bring us tremendous synergy with their deep level of expertise and experience,” said David Bryant, group senior vice president North America at Eurofins. “From a technical standpoint, their knowledge of testing and assay development in food chemistry and nutritional supplements is well known within industry and government agencies. Craft’s continued pursuit of excellence and commitment to developing new technical competencies is important to the mission of Eurofins and for our customers’ satisfaction.”
