Purity-IQ (Guelph, ON, Canada) has announced that its laboratory has been accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB). This milestone affirms the technical competence and quality system of the Canadian biotechnology company, which specializes in authenticity testing for food, beverage and dietary supplements, according to the company.
The scope of accreditation includes strain-level identity testing of probiotics via qPCR, the use of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy for identity verification of botanicals, fungi/mushrooms, and dietary supplements, as well as and the quantification of maltodextrin concentration in dietary supplements, an area of increasing industry attention.
Since its founding in 2019, Purity-IQ has emerged as a trusted partner for companies navigating the challenges of economically motivated adulteration. Its innovative approach lies in combining advanced technologies with tailored authenticity frameworks, supporting both QA/regulatory teams and procurement teams in sourcing with confidence and protecting brand trust.
“ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation is an important step in our evolution,” said Deleo de Leonardis, Purity-IQ CEO and co-founder. “It reflects our ongoing commitment to transparency, quality, and continuous improvement, while reinforcing our mission to provide science-based assurance in an increasingly complex supply chain.”
