EstabisolEstabisol was created in 1979, and provides chemical, physical and microbiological analysis, as well as all types of tests related to the research into the manufacture and control of construction materials. The Munditest laboratory, which forms part of Estabisol, was created in 1994, at a time when laboratories for health control and testing of food, water and beverages were inexistent in Asturias. It was the first laboratory to be authorized by the Ministry of Health of the Principality of Asturias. The original idea was to provide support for food companies, however the company went on to expand and now offers a variety of services such as control of waste, control in cooling towers, control systems on factory chimneys and also gives training courses. The Estabisol building includes four laboratory sections, the first three carry out the physical analyses of materials and general chemical analyses. “Laboratorio Munditest” carries out tests in various fields (foodstuffs, waters, waste and soils) and avails of both a chemical and microbiological department.
