Looking forward to 2010

We are proud to be a wholly NZ owned and completely independent testing laboratory, which is now 25 years old.

Innovation is something we value highly at Hill Laboratories. From its earliest days, our staff have enjoyed using analytical technology in new ways to provide the solutions our clients need. This desire to be innovative is alive and well, and you can expect to see some exciting new developments coming out of Hill Laboratories in 2010.


During 2010 our clients will be offered the ability to use our website to view the status of jobs being worked on, and review jobs that have been completed. We welcome feedback on these and any other features that will make our website a tool which is really useful for those using our services.


There is increasing demand for information about the Uncertainty of Measurement associated with our testing from some sectors of our client base. It is a complex challenge to provide this information for the wide range of tests that we offer, but we expect to be able to offer this reporting on request from early in 2010.


Near infra-red measurement (NIR) is used widely around the world for rapid and non-destructive analysis of samples. Hill Laboratories already uses NIR extensively for testing of plant & feed samples in our Agricultural Division, and along the way we have developed world class expertise in developing and maintaining calibrations for NIR analyses. We will continue to apply this expertise to provide innovative new solutions to the needs of our clients right across the company.


Our Christchurch laboratory has held a leading position in the South Island microbiology market for many years. Our water chemistry testing capability was introduced to the laboratory during 2009, and has grown dramatically since then. In 2010 we will broaden our testing scope in Christchurch to meet the needs of our customers there.


All in all there is much to look forward to next year, and we are looking forward to working with you on these and other things that will make you more successful.
