The Standards Milk Laboratory (LSL) is leader
in Italy for the production of reference materials for the dairy industry. The
samples produced in the laboratory are used for the calibration of analytical
equipment from the laboratories of various associations of breeders, veterinary
epidemiology, industries and dairies, as well as private laboratories,
universities and research institutes (totallly clients are about 250 structures).The preparation of reference materials and ring
tests are the core of our LSL. Samples
of reference materials produced: bovine milk, buffalo, sheep and goat for the
parameters fat, protein, casein, lactose, somatic cells, urea, freezing point
depression, inhibiting, bacteria, aflatoxin M1 and aflatoxin B1, Don,
zearalenone, ochratoxin A and
fumonisin in feed.
LSL organises inter-laboratory tests, the
ring tests, under the umbrella of the proficiency test program of Damocles of
milk, cheese and fodder (e.g. data, analysis, methods, organisation among
inter-laboratory experts). LSL is accredited by Accredia (UNI EN ISO / IEC
17025: 2005) for all analytical testing that produce reference materials and CSQA
certification (ISO 9001: 2008) for the activity of production of reference
materials. LSL has been supported by the Centre for Metrological Tests
Confirmations (CPC), available to all farmers associations. CPC ensures the
accuracy of the measurements performed by the technicians of the Milking
Machines Control Service, certifying their accomplishment of traceability international
standards. In
addition to calibration, CPC ensures the ordinary and extraordinary maintenance
of pulsometer and lactocorder, thus providing a complete and highly qualified service
to farmers associations.
