FUTURE EXPANSION Our laboratory's present capacity for 4 million plants per annum will be expanded to 10 million per annum by the end of 2003. All processes in the laboratory are written down in protocols, which are kept to the letter, in compliance with the procedures for ISO-9001 accreditation.
INTERNATIONAL EFFICIENCY At our modern new laboratory outside Cape Town, ALBA Laboratories specialises in developing plant tissue cultures that meet the highest international standards of excellence. ALBA was launched in 2000 by Dr. Ir. Michiel van Asch. A graduate of the Agricultural University Wageningen, the Netherlands, and the University of Natal, South Africa, he has gained over 10 years' extensive experience in plant tissue culture and management, most of it at the Preesman B.V. laboratory in Holland. Our specialist knowledge and uncompromising attitude towards quality and service has poised ALBA to become the partner of choice of leading growers and discerning breeders worldwide.
