Description

MICROBIOLOGICAL TESTING

Different types of analysis are performed on a daily basis to determine if pathogens are present in your production facility or food products. We assist in improving and validating your process hygiene protocols and assist in positive release testing.

POSITIVE RELEASE

Batches that require positive release before entering the consumer market require flexibility and speed. By using the most advanced techniques we can detect pathogens and give positive release within 48 hours!

ENVIRONMENTAL TESTING

Using swabs we test your food facility. Together we can improve your sampling plan and process hygiene. On request, we train your staff to improve cleaning and swab techniques.

LISTERIA MONOCYTOGENES

One of the most dangerous pathogens is L. mono. We are able to detect this pathogen and advice on the prevention of contamination.
