AkiNaO is recognized GLP (Good Laboratory Practices) recognition obtained in May 2017 by the GIPC in categories 1 and 8!

In order to take into account the needs of our customers, in particular during the approval of Biocontrol Products, we have initiated a Quality approach. AkiNaO is recognized as compliant with the principles of Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) in the areas of competence
GLP 1: Physico-chemical tests
GLP 8: Analytical and clinical chemistry method

This recognition attests to the implementation and compliance with numerous procedures within the company concerning in particular the proper management of:
– The test facility (general management of the facility….)
– Devices, materials and reagents (identification, verification, calibration, maintenance procedures…)
– Customer samples and analytical standards (procedures ensuring their good traceability and disposal…)
– Archives (procedure for archiving documents and their disposal, etc.)

Entrust us with your development and validation of methods for active substances and formulated products, we will meet regulatory requirements.

AkiNaO is participating in the MSRA project – Microbiome Soil Resilience Academy, an ERASMUS+ funded initiative in which we have developed four training modules on the role of the microbiome in agriculture. These courses are available on the platform www.mygreentrainingbox.com

AkiNaO is participating in the PAHP project – Agroecological Practices in Horticulture and MAPs (Medicinal and Aromatic Plants). Led by a French-Spanish consortium bringing together My Training Box, AkiNaO, and CITA, this program aims to accelerate the ecological transition in the horticultural and MAP sectors.

The project will develop two free, bilingual (French/Spanish) digital training pathways dedicated to agroecological practices in horticulture and the MAP industry. Hosted on the My Green Training Box platform, these contents are eco-designed to combine pedagogical performance with environmental responsibility.

The agenda for the next two years includes:

Designing diverse modules (videos, podcasts, practical sheets).
Developing support tools for trainers.
Organizing webinars and co-construction workshops.

This project benefits from financial support from Interreg POCTEFA.
