Celvia CC has secured ISO 17025 accreditation for its MDA honey test from the Estonian Accreditation Centre. The accreditation confirms the test meets international standards for laboratory competence and reliable results.
The company announced the milestone on June 1. Its MDA test examines the full genetic makeup of honey through metagenomic DNA analysis of samples weighing 100 grams. The process sequences between 1 million and 20 million DNA fragments to detect plant, bacterial, fungal and insect material encountered by bees.
