Microbiological Testing & Analysis

RSS

Whole-genome sequencing has changed how the identification of outbreaks and harborage organisms is performed.

Food safety testing volumes are increasing and focus on Listeria.

No trend has been reported as being more impactful than the increase in the amount of analytical testing being conducted—especially the increase in testing for microorganisms.

For ready-to-eat food processors, developing and implementing pathogen environmental monitoring programs are important parts of their sanitation controls.

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli strains can cause foodborne illness, necessitating the expansion of testing for these organisms.

The ability to rapidly detect the presence of viable pathogens along the production chain is essential for determining intervention and control strategies.

Measuring coliforms is critical in a wide variety of source water applications, including required regulatory compliance testing, bottled water testing, and for fresh-cut produce or fruit rinse water .

Neogen’s Listeria Right Now™ test system detects Listeria in environmental samples in under 60 minutes—with molecular-level accuracy and without the need to enrich samples.

The SimPlate system meets the need for more rapid enumeration systems for microorganisms, allowing faster response times to potential food quality or food safety problems.
