MyLab

What MyLab does

MyLab (Laboratoire Mylab) is an independent analytical laboratory founded in 2016, headquartered in Janzé near Rennes in Brittany, France. The company specializes in laboratory testing services for the dairy sector in western France (Grand Ouest), with its core historic activity being interprofessional milk quality analysis for payment purposes — a function for which it is recognized by French public authorities as a fundamental link in the dairy supply chain. The service portfolio extends across microbiological and chemical testing for dairy producers and processors, animal health screening (Brucellosis, Enzootic Bovine Leucosis, IBR, BVD, parasitology), water analysis (drinking water, process water, and COFRAC-accredited wastewater testing), agri-food microbiology, and cosmetic product testing using NF EN ISO validated methods.

Underlying technical capabilities are built on conventional wet-lab analytical methods certified under COFRAC accreditation (residual water analyses following ISO standards) and Afnor-validated methods (food and cosmetic microbiology). Sample integrity is maintained through an internal refrigerated collection network that covers 8 departments across Brittany and Pays de la Loire, guaranteeing delivery to the central laboratory within 24 hours. A Qualiopi-certified training program for laboratory technicians, dairy staff, and milk truck drivers extends the offering beyond testing services.

The business operates on a fee-for-service laboratory analysis model, with custom-quoted pricing per test and no publicly disclosed rate cards. Customers span SMB dairy producers (mandatory payment-quality analyses), enterprise dairy and agri-food industrialists (quality control, microbiology, compliance), and government/nonprofit buyers (DDPP and Groupements de Défense Sanitaire for animal health). Orders and results are transacted through an online client portal. No funding rounds, acquisitions, or institutional investment have been disclosed; the company is privately held and independently operated, serving exclusively the French market.

Broad incumbents

• SGS: Global testing, inspection and certification company with food and agricultural testing capabilities in France. Overlaps with MyLab on agri-food microbiology and water testing, but operates as a broad incumbent rather than a regional dairy specialist.
• Bureau Veritas: International testing, inspection and certification group with agri-food and environmental testing lines. Competes with MyLab in food safety and water testing as part of a broader portfolio serving multiple industries globally.
• Eurofins Scientific: Global leader in food, environmental and pharmaceutical testing with extensive dairy and agri-food analytical services in France. Competes with MyLab in dairy microbiology, chemistry and water testing, but operates at vastly larger scale across multiple geographies and verticals.

Direct peers

• ACTALIA: French dairy industry technical center providing analytical services, R&D support and training for dairy producers and processors. Closely comparable to MyLab in dairy expertise, training services and industry-embedded positioning within the French dairy sector.
• Celesta-Lab: French dairy analysis laboratory based in Brittany, providing milk payment quality analysis and dairy producer/industrialist services. Direct competitor to MyLab in the Western France dairy testing market with overlapping interprofessional roles.
• Phylum: French independent laboratory specialized in food, feed and agro-environmental analyses. Closely comparable to MyLab in scope (microbiology, chemistry, contaminants) and as a French regional/national testing competitor.
• Mérieux NutriSciences: Specialized food testing and safety services provider (formerly Silliker) with strong presence across dairy, agri-food and cosmetics microbiology. Directly comparable to MyLab in food microbiology, pathogen detection and accredited analytical methods for the food industry.

Regional players

• Inovalys: French public service laboratory network providing food, water and environmental analyses. Overlaps with MyLab in water and food microbiology, particularly for regulatory testing, but operates across multiple French regions with public-sector governance.
• LABEO: French public analytical laboratory based in Normandy offering animal health, food and environmental testing. Comparable to MyLab in animal health screening and agricultural testing but primarily serves a different French region.

Others

• Actilait: French interprofessional dairy technical institute supporting producers with advisory, training and analytical services. Adjacent peer to MyLab — both operate within the French dairy interprofession ecosystem, with Actilait focused on advisory/training and MyLab on laboratory analysis.
