The laboratory covers an area of 6000 square meters, with an original testing equipment value of 30 million yuan, including constant temperature and humidity laboratory, static constant temperature and humidity laboratory, microbiology laboratory, etc., equipped with triple quadrupole compound linear ion trap liquid mass spectrometer(QTRAP LC/MS/MS), triple quadrupole liquid mass spectrometer(LC/MS/MS), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS), headspace mass spectrometer. Advanced instruments such as liquid chromatogram (with DAD, ELSD and FLD), gas chromatogram (with ECD, FID and headspace), near and far infrared spectrometer, and DIGI EYE image processing system. The testing capacity of the center covers dyes, dyeing and finishing additives (water treatment agents), dye intermediates and functional indicators and harmful substances, water quality, wastewater, etc.

The laboratory Test & Innovation Lab is up and running since the beginning of 2021. The lab is based in Prato and has been realized on an industrial archeology site.

This means a considerable time saving, especially when quick decisions must be made for production flows Our labs: • General and instrumental chemistry • Applied Chemistry • Microscopy • microbiology and molecular biology • physical-mechanical

Operation Field Chemical compliance Monitoring of restricted chemicals in compliance with mandatory national and international regulations. The chemical compliance is a key check to simplify custom activities (in import/export) and prevent potential issues at retails level. A compliance assessment and control can be requested to all materials included in a finished product: textile, leather, fur, metal and plastic accessories. More than 350 substances are currently being evaluated as “restricted” by the PRSL (Product Restricted Substance List) issued by the main Luxury brands.

Performance The finished product quality control includes a performance check of all materials used. The tests ensure high quality standards of materials and guarantee the durability of the finished products for a long-time use. In some countries (i.e. China and US) performance tests are mandatory. The tests of materials performance during all production cycle (raw material, semi-finished and finished product) support the brands in case of alternative solutions or production improvement or wip changes, and especially in testing innovative material processes.

Sustainability Chemical tests offer to customers the right support to verify the sustainability of the production process. Currently it is asked to textile and tanning companies a constant conformity checks of the chemical products used (Manufacturing Restricted Substance List - MRSL) and of the correct production processes through the production discharges (wastewater). Other examples of test are metal-free tanning and PFC and Bisphenols…The monitoring of the production processes is an indispensable check to guarantee the sustainability of the processes themselves.

Cosmetic Thanks to the skills acquired in the ecotoxicological sector, TIL has expanded its test by developing analysis methods dedicated to the cosmetic sector. We currently perform analyzes on both raw materials and finished products for the cosmetic and permanent make up (PMU) sector (regulation 2081/2020) and tattoo inks.

Innovation R&D Innovation is in TIL's DNA; Below some projects we are working on: • Geolocalization of cotton; • Verification of organic cotton by determination of GMO; • Vegan products; • Omics sciences; • Quantification of recycled polyester in fabric; • Determination of biobased material by quantification of radiocarbon (14C); • Screening of total fluoride for verification of use perfluorinated. Compounds • Determination of the release of microfibers
