In support of company philosophy, we are constantly monitoring and improving service levels and evaluating new techniques and instrumentation to improve quality, efficiency and cost effectiveness. Quality control is an essential aspect of our business given today's increasing concerns about safety and the environment. Fragrance Oils has invested in state-of-the-art technology to ensure the highest standards are maintained.

The analytical laboratory utilises the latest instrumentation including Gas Chromatography and Robotic Sample Preparation which incorporates techniques such as Headspace analysis, thermal desorption, solid phase micro-extraction (SMPE) as well as hi-tech infrared and ultra-violet spectometers.

All data is collected over a computer network allowing full archive and retrieval function. In QC mode, the system ensures batch to batch consistency and enables chromatograms to be made available to customers. The analytical department also includes a micro-biology laboratory where Total Viable Counts (TVCs) can be determined and the efficiency of the preservative systems where they are used can be ensured. Procedures and methods are all fully documented and regularly monitored by both internal and external auditing, in line with the company's ISO 9002 accreditation.

At Fragrance Oils, creativity and technology are not considered in isolation but developed as one in pursuit of excellence.

Exhaustive tests are carried out on finished product applications to ensure complete fragrance compatibility and customer satisfaction.
