Here at LiveLab, we take pride in delivering independent, industry-leading analytical services for the renewable energy and agricultural sectors.

Founded in 2006 as a farm diversification business, we are now one of the UK’s largest grain and feed laboratories.

We understand farming, farmers, and the unique challenges facing the agricultural industry.

Our biogas and environmental services have been supporting the sector since 2013.

Our commitment to the industry is clear: we continue to invest in new capabilities, technology, and equipment to help AD plant managers stay ahead of operational challenges.

We offer our customers access to an online portal that allows you to monitor your BMP results live, giving you greater visibility and control throughout the testing process.

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us!

Who doesn’t love boiling a bit of digestate? Here, we’re using steam distillation to extract VFAs before analysis by GC-FID.

This is our Glut-o-matic 2200 , and yes, that is genuinely its name. It automatically extracts gluten from flour.

This one’s for our grain and bakery people. If you’re working with wheat, for example, and need to measure gluten content, this is exactly the kind of tool you’d use.

Once the gluten is extracted, it forms a small, chewy ball, a bit like gum. From there, we can analyse its colour and quality.

And that matters more than you might think, because for some people, gluten really is a matter of loaf and death.

“Can you check my pipes please, Miss?”

It’s something we hear all the time. Requests to test deposit build-up in gas lines across AD plants are a regular part of our work.

Interestingly, in most cases, around nine out of ten, the culprit is not struvite.

More often, we find deposits are sulphur-based, or simply dried digestate that has accumulated over time. Struvite does appear occasionally, particularly in ammonium-rich feeding regimes, such as those involving high levels of poultry litter.

The good news is that there are several effective ways to tackle these issues, and we’re always happy to guide you through the best options.

If you need support or advice, feel free to get in touch.

Did you know… we don’t just provide reliable technical support for anaerobic digestion site owners and operators, we also carry out soil testing.

Here’s a batch of samples from a local estate, submitted for analysing pH, phosphorus (P), potassium (K), and magnesium (Mg).

We offer a wide range of analytical support for the renewable energy and agricultural sectors.
