Full Analytical and Microbiological Laboratory Services

Make sure your food is safe

Be sure your food is safe. We offer aflatoxin testing and utilize third-party proficiency testing by the American Proficiency Institute (API). We are currently undergoing ISO-17025 certification by the American Association of Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA).

Analytical testing

Test your food for free fatty acids, moisture, peroxide value, allergens, and aflatoxin through our Analytical Testing Services.

Microbiological testing

Analyze Aerobic Plate Count (APC), Acidophilus, APC Swab, Coliform, E. coli, Enterobacteriacea, Listeria, Salmonella, Staphylococcus aureus, Total Plate Count Colonies, yeast and/or mold, and Staphylococci - coagulase positive. For standards and pricing, see Microbiological Testing Services.

Sensory testing

Validate the sensory perception of your food products. Use our pathogen lab for process evaluation and get an evaluation of flavor and mouth appeal through our sensory lab.

Process Authorities for Manufacturers and Processors

Validate that your facilities, instrumentation, and equipment meet FDA standards for thermal and non-thermal processing of food products.

Process evaluation

Obtain the process authorities you need. We offer our scientific skill and consulting expertise in food validation protocols in both thermal and non-thermal process validation for food processors and equipment manufacturers. We help companies validate new and improved food processes.
