Diagnostics solutions specialist Romer Labs has launched its APAC Solutions Centre in Singapore, expanding its analytical services, technical support and customised training programs.

It can now serve the region with analytical services that cover gluten and the broadest range of allergenic analytes on the market. The centre also brings augmented mycotoxin testing methods with screening services such as Multi-Mycotoxin Analysis 50+, which gives specific information on any of more than 50 mycotoxins in a sample in one report.

Romer Labs APAC managing director Yong Wee Liau said: “For years, we have prided ourselves on being an extension of our customers’ lab. With the Romer Labs APAC Solutions Centre, we aim to go beyond that by being with our customers every step of the way.”

Romer will also offer enhanced technical support, with sample validation, troubleshooting and insight into best practices. Its specialists provide advice to help customers remain productive and compliant with local and international regulations.

The APAC Solutions Centre is also introducing a new service to the region: customized training programs. Workshops, webinars and personalised instruction are all designed to adapt to how, where and how often customers test. Romer Labs issues training certificates and other documentation that may be necessary for audits and accreditations.

“The new centre has been designed with their needs in mind to help them meet their food and feed safety goals,” Liau said.

Packaging News

APCO has released its 2022-23 Australian Packaging Consumption and Recovery Data Report, the second report released this year in line with its commitment to improving timeliness and relevance of data. 

The AFGC has welcomed government progress towards implementing clear, integrated and consistent changes to packaging across Australia, but says greater clarity is needed on design standards.

It’s been a tumultuous yet progressive year in packaging in Australia, with highs and lows playing out against a backdrop of uncertainty caused in part by the dangling sword of DCCEEW’s proposed Packaging Reform, and in part by the mounting pressure of rising manufacturing costs.
