Automated product analytics · Nairobi

Know exactly what's in your product — before it ships.

SPMLABO is an independent analytics laboratory in Mwiki, Kasarani. We test, verify and score products against their own claims, then hand you a report that regulators, buyers and auditors accept without a phone call.

How a consignment moves through the lab

Four steps, and every one of them leaves a record.

A result you cannot trace is a result a buyer can reject. Our workflow is built so that the number on the report and the sample in the bag are provably the same thing.

  1. 01
    Intake and chain of custody Bag count, net weight and sample mass are recorded at the bench, with a sampling reference printed on the report.
  2. 02
    Reduction and preparation The blended primary sample is riffler-split to a working quantity, so the portion tested represents the whole lot.
  3. 03
    Panel run Sensory, physico-chemical and defect assessments run against the declared specification, each with its own acceptance limit.
  4. 04
    Verdict and publication The system conclusion is graded, the report is issued as a signed PDF, and a verification record is published against its ID.
What we do

Six analytics services that answer the question buyers actually ask.

Not a data dump. Each service ends in a decision: does this product match what it claims to be, and can you prove it?

Product Verification

Confirm that a product matches its declared label, specification and batch record. Every result is tied to an instrument trace and a chain-of-custody entry.

  • Label-vs-result reconciliation
  • Batch and lot authentication
  • Adulteration and substitution flags

Composition Analysis

Quantify what is actually inside a sample — macro constituents, actives, moisture, ash, fats and minerals — against the specification you supplied.

  • Proximate and full composition
  • Active / declared-content quantification
  • Spec tolerance scoring

Contaminant Screening

Automated multi-residue screening for the contaminants that trigger recalls and rejected consignments, with clear pass/fail thresholds.

  • Heavy metals and residues
  • Microbiological indicators
  • Mycotoxins and pesticide residues

Stability & Shelf-Life

Accelerated and real-time stability programmes with scheduled re-tests, so expiry claims are backed by a degradation curve rather than a guess.

  • Accelerated ageing protocols
  • Degradation curve modelling
  • Shelf-life recommendation

Comparative & Benchmark Testing

Put your product side by side with competitors or a reference standard and get a scored, defensible ranking instead of anecdote.

  • Head-to-head benchmark panels
  • Reference-standard calibration
  • Scorecard and gap report

Automated Reporting

Results leave the lab as signed, versioned PDF and machine-readable data — ready for regulators, buyers, and your own quality system.

  • Versioned report records
  • PDF + JSON/CSV data export
  • Regulator and buyer-ready format
How it runs

A sample enters, a verdict leaves — tracked at every step.

Intake & custody

You deliver or dispatch the sample. It is logged against your specification with a unique ID and photographed on receipt.

Method selection

We map your declared spec to the analytical panel that can actually confirm it — and tell you when it cannot.

Automated run

Instruments run the panel under calibration control. Readings are captured straight into the record; nothing is retyped.

Verdict & report

Results are scored against tolerance and issued as a signed report plus raw data you can feed into your own systems.

Who we test for

Six sectors, one standard of evidence.

A flour mill, a cosmetic formulator and a cement blender all need the same thing: proof that the product performs as declared. We work to your specification, or to the published standard you nominate.

If your sector is not listed, send us the product and the claim you need to defend — we will tell you honestly whether analytics can support it.

Talk to the lab

Food & beverage

Processed foods, dairy, beverages, flour and oils — proximate composition, contaminants, labelling truth.

Agricultural inputs

Fertilisers, feeds and seed lots — nutrient declaration verification, adulteration and residue screening.

Cosmetics & personal care

Creams, powders and liquids — heavy metals, microbial limits and declared-active confirmation.

Pharmaceutical & supplements

Tablets, syrups and nutraceuticals — content uniformity, dissolution checks and stability programmes.

Water & environmental

Process, potable and effluent water — physicochemical panels and microbiological indicators.

Building & industrial

Cement, aggregates, lubricants and chemicals — specification conformance and performance testing.

Turnaround

Typical timelines, so you can plan the shipment.

Indicative working days from sample receipt, assuming a complete specification is supplied at intake.

Standard turnaround by product category
Product category Typical panel Turnaround Deliverable
Consumer packaged goods Composition, labelling conformance, contaminants 3–5 working days Full analytical report + pass/fail scorecard
Food & agricultural consignments Proximate panel, residue screen, moisture/ash 2–4 working days Pre-shipment clearance report
Water & effluent Physicochemical + microbiological panel 2–3 working days Potability / discharge compliance statement
Cosmetics & personal care Heavy metals, microbial limits, active content 4–6 working days Market-readiness dossier
Industrial chemicals Purity assay, identity confirmation, impurity profile 4–7 working days Certificate of analysis (CoA)

Have a product claim you need to prove?

Send us the sample and the specification. We will confirm scope, method and cost before any analysis starts — no surprise invoices.
