Chemical characterisation beyond the ordinary
VITO’s specialist lab for tailored organic and inorganic chemical analysis works according to your individual needs, offering fully customisable solutions and targeted advice.
Data? It’s raw potential. Just numbers.
...until you do something remarkable with it.
Think analytics are just numbers? At VITO, we believe analytics should go beyond the ordinary.
Think bigger. Data alone doesn't drive innovation, we do.
VITO goes beyond presenting the data you are looking for. Rather than just data, we deliver impactful analytical solutions that truly matter.
At our lab, analytics are transformed into impactful, actionable insights. We combine unparalleled expertise with decades of experience to deliver fit-for-purpose answers to your complex questions.
This isn’t just a lab. It’s the Flemish reference lab, setting global standards. Where others labs stop, our exciting journey begins. Pushing boundaries of innovation with chemical characterisation beyond the ordinary and setting the new benchmarks for tomorow. We offer fully customisable analyses and targeted advice, tailoring organic and inorganic characterisation solutions precisely to your needs.

Tailored organic and inorganic chemical analysis
Some examples of the possibilities:
- Fast insight into chemical constitution: VITO uses DART MS, a real time mass spectrometry screening technique able to directly measure solid and liquid materials to obtain insights into organic chemical constitution. This fast and economical approach allows to efficiently direct resources to the analysis that are most impactful.
- Non-targeted analysis (NTA): Apart from the vast portfolio of target analysis we have in house, non-targeted analysis (NTA) is our answer in those cases you don't know what to look for. Our NTA mass spectrometry toolbox brings to light all compounds and chemicals you were not aware were relevant. This enables NTA to be used in different ways, such as chemical stability monitoring, impurity detection, early-warning and/or control system or to efficiently direct further specific analysis.
- Nanoparticles in the environment: VITO assesses how selected classes of consumer plastic products emit nanoparticles into the environment and the potential impact of these particles on life. This is achieved through a robust series of science-based protocols based on regulation and best practices.
- Human analysis and biomonitoring (HBM): VITO is developing solutions for addressing human biomonitoring, exposomics and risk assessment initiatives in a holistic way from design of study to sampling, processing, analysing and safe data management and storage.
Case: cooperating with ILSA S.p.a
ILSA S.p.a. is an agrochemical company headquartered in Arzignano (Italy), which produces and supplies biostimulants and other bio-active products for agriculture together with organic and organo-mineral fertilisers, solids and liquids. They joined forces with VITO for their expertise on chemical characterisation.
A large portion of the plant-based products remains untapped because the chemical constitution is unclear or unknown. Based on a wide array of analytical tools VITO is now bringing characterisation to the next level by both testing our hypotheses regarding the constitution but also bringing in new insights based on wide unknown compound screening and structure elucidation.
