Groundbreaking test paves the way
Hamilton-based Hill Labs has introduced a new test to detect earthworm eDNA levels in soils, claiming that it marks a significant development in soil health assessment.
Leading analytical testing organisation, Hill Laboratories has appointed Lorrae Taylor as client services manager for the organisation's food and bioanalytical division.
Taylor has nearly four decades of nationwide experience working in laboratories, or with laboratories to provide proficiency services testing.
Taylor says Hill Laboratories' client services teams, which are effective in all three of the company's divisions, are what sets the organisation apart from most other analytical testing laboratories.
"At Hill Laboratories we recognise that clients often have queries about the testing process, so we have strong client services teams to provide guidance on the best testing to meet client's needs," she says.
"I am passionate about not just meeting clients' needs, but exceeding them."
Taylor began her career at Bay of Plenty Cooperative Milk Producers Ltd, a Te Puke dairy laboratory where she spent 17 years first as a lab technician and eventually as lab supervisor.
Following this she undertook the role of laboratory manager at multi species processing facility Affco in Rangiuru, where she remained for six years.

Dairy farmers are set to benefit from the radical sweeping changes the Government is planning to make to the regulations that form part of the Resource Management Act (RMA).
The reported surge in interest in dairy conversions should be put into the context of falling overall cow numbers and improving environmental performance, says DairyNZ.
New Zealand's top trade official has told dairy farmers that their sector faces the most trade barriers internationally.
Waikato sharemilker Matthew Zonderop had no inkling that one day he would become a matchmaker for cows.
The coveted post of Federated Farmers' national dairy chair will see a two-way contest at the Federated Farmers annual meeting later this month.
