What Central Laboratory does

Central Laboratory (Thailand) Co., Ltd. operates an ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratory testing, calibration, inspection, and certification business headquartered within Kasetsart University's Bang Khen campus in Bangkok, with branch offices in Samut Sakhon, Songkhla, and Chiang Mai. The company has been operating for approximately 23 years and serves food manufacturers, agricultural producers, food exporters, SMEs, community enterprises (OTOP operators), and other testing laboratories. Service lines include chemical and microbiological testing for food and non-food products, instrument calibration, GAP/COC/Organic/GMP-HACCP inspection and certification, ISO/IEC 17043 proficiency testing programs, ISO/IEC 17025 quality system consulting, food sanitation training, and R&D tax promotion advisory.

Technology infrastructure centers on advanced analytical instrumentation including ICP-OES/MS, ICP-MS 7900, HPLC, GC, GC-MS, GC-MS/MS, and LC-MS/MS for high-precision chemical and microbiological analysis. The digital layer comprises an E-Tracking system for real-time sample status monitoring, an eMEMBER customer portal for service management, and a 2024-launched Food Registration Center that supports Thai FDA product registration. Customer reach is delivered through direct and inside sales, Zoom-based online training, in-person training at the Bangkok headquarters, and an owned media ecosystem (CLT Go On video series, Facebook, LINE Official, YouTube).

Revenue is generated primarily through fee-for-service laboratory testing and calibration (transaction-based), plus professional services revenue from training courses (priced 749–4,601 THB per person), certification issuance, and quality system consulting. The go-to-market combines sales-led outreach to enterprise food processors and exporters with self-serve online channels targeting SMEs and OTOP community enterprises. The customer base is vertically segmented across food manufacturing, agriculture, non-food manufacturing, other laboratories, and SME/community enterprises, with a national Thai geographic footprint.
