Product safety and quality control monitoring as well as compliance with legal regulations is one of the most important aspects of modern food business. The manufacturers face numerous challenges such as contamination, inadequate processes, and environmental concerns. As a biotechnology enabled company in the field of environmental protection, we provide tailored solutions for sustainability-focused production process testing Services. We strive to eliminate food safety concerns by integrating cutting-edge analytical procedures, environmental surveillance, and process management and monitoring techniques at every stage of food production including receiving raw materials and packaging the final product. Consequently, we help food manufacturers attain operational control, decrease waste materials, and comply with the international standards on sustainability through addressing the critical control points.

Service Overview
The production process testing services we offer include an integrated approach to checking and improving food production systems. These can be categorized into the following main parts:
- Testing of Production Water: Compliance testing for microbiological and chemical safety of water used for processing, cleaning, and ingredient preparation.
- Environmental Monitoring: Microbial contamination is prevented by systematic monitoring of air, surfaces, and people working in production areas.
- Process Control Testing: Maintaining product safety and consistency is achieved by the real time monitoring of selected critical parameters such as temperature, pH, and microbial load.
- Equipment and Tool Testing: Machinery, utensils, and packaging systems have to be validated for sanitation effectiveness and material compatibility.
These services rely on sophisticated biotechnological approaches that allow the identification of pathogens, allergens, and chemical residues at high speed and at very low cost to the environment
Technical Principles
We use interdisciplinary approaches to science to make sure our results are practical and accurate.
- Molecular Biology: PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) and NGS (next generation sequencing) for detection of pathogens like Salmonella, Listeria, E. coli.
- Chemical Analysis: Detection of pesticides and heavy metals and preservatives using HPLC, GC-MS, and ICP-MS.
- Microbiology: Microbial load in water and on surfaces can be quantified using ATP bioluminescence assay and agar plating.
- Environmental Monitoring: Measure hygiene practices using air particle counters, swab tests, and biofilm detection systems.
- Verification of the Process: In process production inspection using SPC and HACCP methodology.
Technical Features
Our clients enjoy the efficiency, speed, and sustainability benefits of these services:
- Reduction of Time: Quick delivery of test results using quick microbial detection systems like ATP bioluminescence within hours at the expense of prolonging downtimes.
- Greater Sensitivity: Detection limits of 1 CFU/mL of pathogens and 0.1 ppm of chemical contaminants.
- Advanced Testing: All-in-one microbial, chemical, and physical hazard Multi-parameter testing.
- Adjustable Solutions: Custom testing designs to suit the customer-specific needs and processes, including regulations like the FDA or EU 2023/1119.
