Curtis Analytics Ltd

Curtis Analytics is a specialized analytical services company and contract research organization (CRO) focused on the food and life sciences sectors. The company is a recognized leader in the detection and mitigation of acrylamide, a potentially carcinogenic chemical formed during high-temperature cooking. It provides the UK's fastest testing services for asparagine (an acrylamide precursor), reducing sugars, and amino acids to help food manufacturers comply with stringent EU and UK regulatory standards. Founded as a spin-out from Rothamsted Research, the company operates high-specification laboratories at Discovery Park, a prominent UK life sciences hub. Beyond routine testing, Curtis Analytics engages in advanced research and development, including the creation of rapid portable testing tools like the ASNInstaTest. While its primary clients are in the food and agriculture industries, its work in metabolomics and toxicant reduction is highly relevant to nutritional medicine and clinical research environments.
