We achieve analysis based upon normative or defined protocols, we develop or use
existing analytic methods.
Our work stand on quality, craftsmanship and speed values.

The market of of the electronic cigarettes develops in an exponential way: More than one million of electronic cigarette users, 3.2 millions in GB and 9 millions in USA. The secret of these famous e-liquids is in the pleasure and the taste, and because the use of e-cigarette would be far less dangerous and toxic than conventional cigarette.
To propose what is the best on the market, it is therefore essential to check e-liquids to answer the regulations in force. So Vanalyse realize controls on the contents of regulated compounds in e-liquids:
- Propylene glycol, glycerol, polyethylene glycol or propane-1,3-diol
- Nicotine
- Cannabidiol, Cannabigerol
And soon :
- Acrolein, nitrosamines
- THC
