Biotechnologies Unlimited, Inc. (BUI), located in Sydney, Nova Scotia, is a small but growing biotech quality analysis organization that tests pesticides before they are used by farmers. The testing procedures are specific to the individual pesticides used because reagents used for testing react differently based on their composition and the quantity used. How they are introduced into the pesticides for testing is also important.
