What Agroisolab does

Agroisolab provides analytical testing services to food and timber manufacturers, retailers, and suppliers in the United Kingdom, operating from Welburn and founded in 2015 with 1-10 employees. The data on the underlying technology platform is attributed to Source Certain, a forensic origin verification provider (founded 1984, headquartered in Perth, Australia) that uses two proprietary scientific methodologies, Trace Element Analysis (TEA) and Stable Isotope Ratio Analysis (SIRA), to identify unique chemical signatures in physical product samples. These methods enable verification of product origin at high geographic granularity, reportedly distinguishing sources as close as 500 meters apart in cases such as Tasmanian oyster bays and leases. The platform is supported by a proprietary provenance reference database built from 500,000+ analyzed samples across 20+ industries, and serves customers in food, seafood, horticulture, forestry, mining, coffee, wine, meat, and dairy.

The commercial model is B2B enterprise testing sold through a consultative direct sales motion, with quote-based pricing, recurring verification programs, and supplementary capabilities in analytical science, forensic science, and minerals and exploration. Distribution is exclusively direct: three regional offices (Perth headquarters with main laboratories, Colorado for the Americas, York for Europe) handle enterprise engagement, government programs, and industry-association work, supported by content marketing via blog, case studies, YouTube, and LinkedIn. Customer logos span enterprise buyers (WA Farm Direct, Reid Fruits, Tasmanian Oyster Co., King River Resources, SCS Global Services, FPSC) and government and nonprofit entities (Solomon Islands Teak Program, Australian Trusted Trader/SIA, ACPF, APFA, Fair Catch Alliance), indicating a horizontal segmentation approach. No public financial data, funding history, or revenue figures are disclosed; pricing is not publicly listed and the company does not sell through self-serve or marketplace channels.

The clear association between Agroisolab and the Source Certain platform is not explicitly stated in the provided data, but product, capability, and case-study material surfaced under the Agroisolab record is drawn from sourcecertain.com and describes the same TEA/SIRA origin verification platform. This implies either a corporate, licensing, or distribution relationship between the two entities, or that Agroisolab is a UK-based channel or affiliate of the Source Certain platform serving European food and timber clients.

Core offering

Agroisolab provides analytical testing services to food and timber manufacturers, retailers, and suppliers, verifying product origin through Trace Element Analysis (TEA) and Stable Isotope Ratio Analysis (SIRA). The company tests physical samples of food, mineral, and timber products against a proprietary provenance database of verified reference samples to detect substitution, mislabelling, dilution, and adulteration, and to confirm responsible sourcing claims.

Product overview

Source Certain offers a unified origin verification platform built on two scientific testing methodologies: Trace Element Analysis (TEA) and Stable Isotope Ratio Analysis (SIRA). The core offering includes Origin Verification Services for food, minerals and textiles, plus dedicated Wood and Timber Testing for forestry products. Supporting these core services are four key capabilities: Provenance Science (the methodology), Analytical Science (lab testing), Forensic Science (evidence-based verification), and Minerals and Exploration (mining sector testing). Food Authenticity Testing is also offered as a specialized service within the food verification offering. The company operates as a single integrated platform with no modular add-ons, providing end-to-end verification from sample collection through final reporting.
