Available Tests

As well as the elite PCR analysis, we have now extended our services to include traditional plate microbiology, the more advance chromogenic dry plates, lateral flow tests, ELISA. Further more we have introduced other parameters affecting shelf life such as salt, pH, water activity and moisture content. We can undertake product analysis, shelflife analysis, water testing and swab analysis.
