The Geesthacht Analytical Laboratory (GALAB) was founded in 1992 on the premises of the GKSS Research Center and is now one of the leading providers of high-quality laboratory services in Germany.

Research in the field of the determination of organotin and mercury compounds in the environment and in food provided a solid basis for the founding of the company. Today, GALAB is a world leader in the analysis of arsenic compounds.

Growth through innovation has characterized the company in the years since its founding. GALAB is one of the first private laboratories to specialize in tandem mass spectrometry. The first fundamental methods for the determination of pharmaceutical substances in the environment and food were researched and developed.

Our high-tech laboratory building in Hamburg, to which we moved in 2014, is equipped with the latest equipment and technology. This allows us to provide rapid and accurate analyses to a wide range of industries. Our team of highly qualified scientists and technicians is committed to delivering reliable results and customer satisfaction, and strives for excellence.

Today, numerous national and international customers rely on GALAB and its expertise. The certificates of our analyses are frequently used to improve the marketability of products.
