Evonik Operations GmbH

Founded in 1960, Evonik Analytical Services is the largest analytical amino acid laboratory network worldwide with additional focus on analytical methods supporting sustainable nutrition and gut health.

Evonik is a leading German company in the sector of specialty chemicals, nutrition (both human and animal), care solutions.

The Analytical Services laboratory network operates on all continents (Europe, Africa, America, Asia), providing integrated and automated measurements both in situ and remotely.

We offer a wide range of data-driven analytical solutions that meet world-class quality standards, including:

* Wet Chemistry (e.g., chromatography, photometry, LFD immunochromatographic tests, nutrient and antinutrient analysis before and after enzymatic digestion): Adhering to the EC and AOAC regulations, to which our laboratory has contributed over decades. We process over 16,000 samples annually.

* Spectroscopy (NIR and similar technologies): Adhering to the ISO 12099 standard for NIR spectroscopy, we analyze more than 1,400,000 samples each year, with a turnaround time of just 2-3 minutes. This fast, accurate, and cost-effective technology has become an industry standard across most global markets.

Our analyses cover a variety of materials and matrices, including feed and food raw materials, compound feeds, premixes, and physiological samples. Additionally, we now offer testing for innovative protein sources (like insects, new plant-based proteins) and marine specialty flours.

We provide precise amino acid (total, free and digestible), fatty acid, fiber, starch & non-starch polysaccharide, energy, nutrient and antinutrient profiles, which support targeted nutrition and quality control.

Additionally we provide indicators to optimize industrial processing conditions of various plant and non-plant based feed and food raw materials, including oilseeds and pulses like soya, cereals, cereal by-products, and animal by-products.

We collaborate with research institutions, regulatory bodies, and commercial organizations, and we are actively seeking to expand our international network and expertise.
