EXPERIENCE

Founded in 1971, Bufete Quimico has been in Mexico an instrumental analysis pioneer: Gas and Liquid Chromatography (GC & HPLC), Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AA) and Infrared Spectroscopy (IR).

Initially, the company focused on solving specific and more complex industrial problems, covering secondary petrochemical, pharmaceutical, automotive, paper, etc., as well as tariff issues.

Since 1997, BQ's commercial strategy has been changed to focus its experience and quality on two analytical units: Food and Environmental.

These two units are serviced from our central facilities in Mexico City. The operational area is organized into the following technical departments:

  • Microbiology
  • Food physicochemical analysis
  • Environmental physicochemical analysis
  • Ceramics and toys
  • Gas and liquid chromatography
  • Mineral and metal determination
  • Environmental chemical engineering (environment sampling: water, residues, soil and atmospheric emissions).

To expand the personalized attention to our customers throughout the Mexican Republic by performing environmental and food sampling, we have two support branches located in Querétaro, Qro. and León, Gto. We also receive samples from abroad for analysis, as long as they are NOT dangerous.

Since 2001, the company has a quality system based on international ISO standards. Bufete Químico's management system complies with the international standard ISO/IEC 17025:2017 "General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories."
