Food Allergen Testing
Allergen Testing Dietary Supplement Testing Food Testing Our Capabilities
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a molecule found in the cells of all living things. Various ATP rapid tests are popular to use in-house to receive quick allergen contamination results. However, these tests have limits and may give false negatives. Our in-lab allergen testing takes out the possibility of false negatives and provides a full array of possible allergen contamination. This assurance protects your product and your pocketbook.

Levels of organic mercury build in the aquatic food chain and can be consumed by eating fish or shellfish. Inorganic mercury is in the soil, air, and water and can contaminate crops. Consuming inorganic or organic mercury or applying inorganic mercury in cosmetics can cause neurological and kidney damage, skin rashes, and fetal developmental abnormalities. CTLA is ready to serve your every laboratory need for the safety and nutritional labeling of all food, supplements, and cosmetic products. (CTLA is not a testing facility designed to perform medical testing. Please, do not send us a blood or urine sample. We do not perform blood or urine tests looking for lead exposure, lead poisoning, nor the need for chelation therapy.)
