A jewel in the Research and Development crown of InVivo NSA, LAREAL has a team of 65 PhDs, engineers and technicians experts in chemistry/biochemistry, molecular biology, microbiology, forage analysis and physical analysis. Already specialised in nutrition, pharmaceuticals, dietetics and health, it is now in the domain of human nutrition thanks to the development of its nutraceuticals activity. LAREAL's internationally recognised scientists actively participate in French and international Standards commissions: AFNOR, ISO, BIPEA, CEN, AOAC. Certified ISO 17025 by the COFRAC (programme available on request), LAREAL is equipped with state-of the-art analytical technologies. These include a PCR (polymerase chain reaction) unit to detect and quantify GMOs, and ORAC value analysis to evaluate the antiageing capacity of food supplements. ORAC value is the reference analysis in neutraceuticals (health foods).
