Microbiological analysis and testing
End-product testing remains a vital part of any food manufacturing control strategy. In products in which microorganisms can survive and grow, routine microbiological analysis is important to confirm that manufacturing control mechanisms are effective. It is also necessary for the checking of raw material quality (e.g. to confirm that they are within specification), or for investigating customer complaints.
At Campden BRI, we undertake a wide range of tests covering pathogens, spoilage organisms, and indicator organisms (those that, although not a problem in themselves, might indicate that there is a potential or hidden problem in the production chain). We can also identify unknown microorganisms, and classify them to a specific strain, and offer advice on the latest rapid methods. This all takes place in our purpose built laboratory suite, which provides excellent separation of activities and the highest standard of laboratory practice.
If you have your own in-house microbiological testing facilities, our newly relaunched Campden Microbiology Proficiency Scheme will help you assess how good your laboratory analyses are.
