We have a dedicated and skilled team with cutting-edge technology to perform an accurate and integrated results in the fastest time possible.
Our nutritional food testing including :
- Proximate
- Vitamins
- Minerals
Contaminants
& Residues Testing
Contamination of food products can cause damage to both the brand manufacturer and consumer. This applies to residue as well in crops or agricultural products.
There are cases when food adulteration occurs. Hence government places strict regulations on ensuring all food for consumption will comply with the safety regulations set.
Our food contaminant testing cover a wide range of restricted contaminants including:
- Heavy metals
- Mycotoxin
- Food Allergens
- Pesticides residues
- Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO)
- Antibiotics
Microbial
Testing
Prevention of bacterial contamination is an important priority for manufacturers. This is a crucial step in every stage of the food supply chain so as to protect consumer health. The means to achieve this goal is via reliable microbial testing.
Microorganisms can be categorized into 2: Pathogenic and Non-Pathogenic.
Our team of microbiologists is very skillful in detecting, isolating and identifying the presence of these harmful microorganisms, such as :
- Salmonella sp.
- Escherichia coli

- Viscosity
- Specific Gravity
- Organoleptic
- etc
