New Tests & Services

At Hill laboratories we are constantly developing new analytical tests and offering new services for the market:

Kiwifruit - Psa V testing
In collaboration with Plant & Food Research, Hill Laboratories has developed a test that confirms the strain of Psa V if present on the first test.  This makes the test for Psa faster and therefore cheaper than other tests available without affecting accuracy  To find out more click here

Honey - Non-Peroxide Activity (NPA)
NPA (Non-Peroxide Activity) is an indicator of the activity in Manuka honey and Hill Laboratories uses a chemical analysis method and GC-MS instrumentation to give reliable, accurate results every time.

All Paddock Testing
All Paddock Testing is a service provided exclusively through Hill Laboratories. A farmer using All Paddock Testing gets all paddocks tested instead of the standard practice of testing only a few. As a result with the more comprehensive All Paddock Testing report you can optimise your fertiliser application by paddock (often for decreased cost).
