Objective
Provide high quality analytical services with reliable and timely results that allow demonstrating the conformity of the products with the physicochemical specifications of the official standards applicable to the alcoholic beverage industry.
Services
- Tequila analysis, drinks prepared with tequila (liqueurs, creams, cocktails, prepared drinks).
- Alcoholic beverages analysis such as: Mezcal, Bacanora, Charanda, Whiskey, Rum, Brandy, among others.
- Sugars in alcoholic beverages analysis, food and raw materials (agave, sugar, among others).
- Issuance of reports in English to facilitate exports to different countries.
- Support to Authorities or agencies such as: SSA, PGR, PGJ, PROFECO with the alcoholic beverages analysis.
Alcoholic beverages are normally analyzed according to the Official Mexican Standards such as NOM-142-SSA1, NOM-006-SCFI, NOM-070-SCFI, NOM-168- SCFI or according to Mexican standards such as NMX- V-001-NORMEX, NMX-V002-NORMEX according to your needs; so the following is suggested:
