Virtual lab

Analysis is one thing, interpretation of results yet another. Opinion Virtual Lab thoughtfully and systematically collects, analyzes and interprets data. As data do not (always) speak for themselves, we use specific methodologies to develop results into ‘evidence’ that may or may not support your ideas or hypotheses. We produce accurate testing and report on credible results that, in turn, can have a major impact on your business. Not only do we translate results into tangible recommendations, we also make them available online as the whole procedure, from sample collection to reporting, is web-based. Check upon status, read reports, track and trace previous jobs, and much more at any time, from anywhere!

Our fully automated data flow allows immediate comparison with internal and external specifications. The ultimate solution is an automatic link between your own product specification system and the FOODscore tool. The latter was specifically developed for retail organisations and food manufacturers. It was designed to incorporate automated validation against well defined specs through our lab portal. In case the laboratory research data are out of spec, you receive an automatic notification.

We also pride ourselves on our ability to be your single point of contact, no matter how complex your request. Regardless of the number of labs, products, countries, … involved in the project, count on Opinion Virtual Lab to manage the whole procedure, at fast turnaround times and always according to the strictest regulations.
