microLAN B.V. has a central base in the Benelux and provides laboratory instruments and applications for environmental- and wateranalysis and we focus on new developments and demands in the market. With our line of bioassays like the MicrotoxTM and special Immunoassays for water and soil testing, we provide a quick, sensitive and cost effective alternative.

From our expertise with the Microtox and the demand for an on-line toxicity monitor we developped the TOXcontrol Biomonitor. This is a unique system for on-line monitoring of the toxicity in waste-, drinking- or processwater.

Our company focuses on:
  • high level of applications support: work closely with the top reference laboratories and institutes like TNO, RIZA, KIWA, KEMA, RIVM, RIKZ in the Netherlands and in Belgium (VITO, VMM, ISSEP) and several Universities
  • marketing though technical seminars & newsletters
  • high level of customer support through customer training`s and workshops
  • quick and adequate supply of parts and reagents.

Currently our company is representing:

  • SDI : Strategic Diagnostic Corporation (US): toxicity bioassay and immunoassays for water and soil quality testing
  • Biosense (No): a leading supplier of products and test systems for detecting and analysing xenobiotics and toxins in food, drugs, chemicals, and in the aquatic environment, with a focus on biological effects. The Biosense concept comprises antibodies and antibody-based kit systems (immunoassays), and bioassays.
  • MicroBioTest (B): a battery of acute and short-chronic Toxkits is available with selected species of different trophic levels. The Toxkits have been validated in many studies and are used world-wide in many laboratories and are the ideal solution for low-cost routine toxicity testing and biomonitoring.
  • Machery Nagel (D): quick (field) tests and photometers for AOX / TOC, heavy metals, nutrients etc.
  • bbe Moldaenke (D): spectrofluorometers for chlorophyll analysis and, what is essential, recording of algae classes and real-time early warning systems, so called Toximeters using Dapnia, fish or algae.
  • Assure Controls (USA) : uses a patented technology that allows rapid onsite detection of contaminants at toxic levels in water and soils
  • Cybersense (UK): Whether you are a landowner, consultant or remediation contractor, the use of on-site screening tests can dramatically reduce project costs and liabilities, whilst at the same time, improve the efficiency and accuracy of investigation and cleanup work. To get the maximum benefit of screening tools you need expert advice Cybersense:
    - CONSULT - on the potential value of on-site screening in projects
    - SUPPLY - a wide range of on-site test kits, ranging from assays, which detect specific compounds, through to systems for the assessment of total toxicity
    - SUPPPORT – we train and assist in-situ. With expert backing on-site screening achieves rapid, cost-effective results

Our customer group consists of:

  • Environmental laboratories & waste management industry
  • Drinking-, waste- and surfacewater authorities
  • Environmental research institutes
  • Petrochemical industry
  • Drinking water production
  • Food & beverage industry
  • Paper & pulp production
