ESTABLISHMENT

CHEMICOTECHNIKI WAS FOUNDED IN AUGUST 1986

Aphrodite Lagouvardou-Spantidaki, Chemist laid the foundations for the establishment of CHEMICOTECHNIKI, which has been active in the field of Analytical Laboratories until today.

The founding date is significant because on the same day the company was established, Maria Spantidaki was also born, who is now a co-owner of the company and represents both the new generation and its vitality.

Since 2012, the business has relocated to new privately owned facilities, covering 600 square meters, in an independent building at the entrance of Rethymno.

The CHEMICOTECHNIKI Laboratories are among the first laboratories in Greece to operate for many decades under the international quality systems ISO 17025 and among the first to be accredited by ΕΣΥΔ (Certificate Number 46/05). Additionally, they are members of the international cooperation for laboratory accreditation (ILAC).

The diverse team of laboratories consists of specialized scientists from various disciplines: Chemists, Chemical Engineers, Biologists, Agronomists, and Food Technologists.

Throughout all these years, the name CHEMICOTECHNIKI has been associated with excellent, high-quality laboratory analyses and technical consulting services.

EQUIPMENT & DEPARTMENTS

Sample registration and reception department

All samples, once they arrive at the laboratory, whether from sampling conducted by the company’s trained personnel or directly from the client, are received, the reception forms are completed, they are registered, and they receive a unique laboratory code number for sample traceability

To ensure the quality of services and to provide faster, easier, and more effective customer service, CHEMIKOTECHNIKI has implemented the LIMS–LAB @LINK laboratory data management program, which was developed over six years in collaboration with an application development company..

Equipment of the sensory testing department for olive oil

The sensory evaluation of olive oils is conducted in specially designed testing booths where absence of odors and noise is ensured. Each booth is equipped with a heating device where the special testing glasses with the samples under evaluation are placed. The testing glass is dark blue in color to prevent the tester from being influenced by the color of the olive oil, which is not a quality criterion.

Additionally, each booth is equipped with lighting and a disposal vessel for the samples under evaluation. The laboratories of CHEMIKOTECHNIKI are accredited with an organoleptic panel from the Hellenic Food Authority and recognized by the International Olive Council.

Ms. Maria Spantidaki, a Chemist and Technical Director of the Laboratories, heads the Sensory Testing Laboratory.

Equipment of the sampling department

The laboratory is equipped with 5 professional vehicles.

A critical aspect for obtaining reliable results is proper sampling and the swift transportation of the sample under suitable conditions to the laboratory.
