NATA-Approved Testing for Food, Clinical and Environmental Use
At Leeder Analytical, we deliver fast, reliable biological analysis testing from our NATA-accredited Melbourne lab.
From food safety to clinical diagnostics and environmental monitoring, we provide ultra-trace detection across complex samples like meat, seafood, urine, and serum – all backed by advanced LC-MS and GC-MS technology.
- Trusted results for food, clinical, and environmental samples
- Detect toxins, residues and biomarkers at trace levels
- Fully compliant with Australian and international standards
What Is Biological Analysis?
Biological analysis is the scientific examination of biological materials (such as food products, human fluids, and tissue) to detect and quantify chemical compounds, toxins, or biomarkers.
This testing is essential in ensuring public safety, supporting healthcare diagnostics, and complying with food and environmental regulations.
Common uses for biological analysis testing include:
- Identifying pesticide and antibiotic residues in food
- Monitoring drug levels in clinical samples
- Detecting pollutants in environmental materials
- Meeting regulatory and export requirements
What We Test For
We offer comprehensive biological analysis testing using LC/MS, GC/MS, HPLC, and IC systems, capable of analysing a wide range of biological samples:
| Food & Agricultural Samples | Clinical & Medical Samples | Environmental & Industrial Samples |

How We Analyse Samples
We use advanced analytical platforms to deliver accurate results across food, clinical, and environmental samples. Key technologies include:
- LC/MS (Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry): Ideal for detecting trace antibiotics, hormones, and biomarkers.
- GC/MS (Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry): Used for VOCs, pesticide residues, and environmental contaminants.
- IC (Ion Chromatography): Supports salt, ion, and nutrient profiling.
- HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography): For analysing vitamins, acids, and proteins in complex samples.
Each method is selected based on your sample type and testing goal. Contact us for guidance on the most suitable approach.

FAQs
What types of samples can be tested using biological analysis?
Our Melbourne-based testing facilities examine a wide range of biological materials, including food products (meat, seafood, vegetables), clinical samples (urine, serum, blood), and environmental matrices (soil, water, biological fluids).
How sensitive is your biological analysis testing?
Our instruments can detect trace-level residues and biomarkers at parts-per-billion (ppb) concentrations – ideal for regulatory compliance, export testing, and clinical diagnostics.
Do I need to prepare samples a certain way before submitting them?
Yes. Sample preparation varies depending on the material. We’ll provide tailored instructions for handling, storage, and transport to preserve sample integrity.
Can biological analysis detect multiple compounds in a single test?
Yes. Our LC-MS and GC-MS platforms allow for multi-residue screening, meaning we can detect multiple pesticides, antibiotics, or biomarkers in a single run.
How long does biological analysis testing take?
Turnaround typically ranges from 5 to 10 business days, depending on the sample type and method. We also offer expedited options for urgent testing.
Do you offer biological analysis for research projects?
We regularly support academic and industrial research with method development, validation, and customised reporting. Get in touch to discuss your project.
