About TRISKELION
Overview
TRISKELION specializes in analyzing the behavior of substances
Together, we face global challenges. These include how to feed the world’s growing population, overcome inequity and, at the same time, counter climate change and environmental degradation. Sustainable entrepreneurship is part of the solution: people, planet and profit are the driving force rather than profit alone. At TRISKELION, this is our corporate guiding principle.
One Health recognizes that human health, animal health and ecosystems are inextricably linked. We believe a healthy body requires healthy food and healthy food requires a healthy planet, all with healthy ecosystems and strong, resilient social structures. We simply can’t have one without the others.
TRISKELION fully supports this vision by offering testing and consultancy services to clients in the pharmaceutical, food, feed and (agro)chemical industries. Together, we drive our mission to improve human, animal and environmental health by “contributing to safe and sustainably-produced food, pharmaceutical and (agro)chemical products.”
TRISKELION has unique capabilities when it comes to applying the necessary interdisciplinary and cross-sectorial approach. With our technical expertise, highly knowledgeable teams and bespoke solutions, we’re able to fully utilize our capabilities in determining the properties of any food, pharmaceutical or (agro)chemical product. We’re able to support you with knowledge and consultancy on appropriate legislation and regulations, as well as best practices in GLP and GMP processes.

- Dec 22, 2025.| Using the molecular barcode as a fingerprinting method
During the Dublin Plant Protection Symposium, Triskelion’s Ingrid Sterenborg, PhD, ERT gave the presentation on how to use the molecular barcode? as a fingerprinting method. Ingrid educates on the ongoing shift from the use of traditional active substances in plant protection products to biological active substances, such as botanicals, semiochemicals and peptides. Most of these biologically active substances are natural complex substances, with a variable or unknown composition. The guidance refers to the use of chemical fingerprinting, but does not explain how this should be performed. Triskelion developed the molecular barcode, based on non-targeted LC-MS, that can be used as a tool to provide an initial overview of the identity of (natural) complex substances. In addition, the molecular barcode is a suitable tool for assessing similarity of natural, complex mixtures and can therefore be used for 5-batch analysis. For preparation of the dossier for natural complex substances, a tailor-made approach should be followed. Information may already be available due to the use of the substance in other areas (food, medicine, biocides, etc.), or because man and/or the environment is exposed to natural background levels. For substances that may contain components that are of possible concern for humans and/or the environment, a combination of information from the components and studies with the complex substance may be needed. Therefore it is advised to prepare a registration strategy based on available knowledge and discuss this with the RMS in a pre-submission meeting. Link:
