Rapid analytical methods for safer food production and food handling

Hygiene Diagnostics offers a wide range of proven analytical methods and testing solutions for internal monitoring from rapid screening tests to more advanced microbiological and molecular analyses—tailored to meet varying requirements for speed, accuracy, and application.

Challenges in Food Safety

Many businesses lack effective verification of their hygiene procedures. Visual inspections and limited sampling do not provide a reliable picture of bacteria, allergens, or contamination.

At the same time, these checks often rely on traditional microbiological analysis, which involves long incubation periods and manual labor. Results are slow to come in, leading to delayed decisions, high inventory costs, and limited sampling frequency.

The result is weaker control over the process and increased business risk—ranging from product scrapping and production stoppages to product recalls. At the same time, requirements for documented internal monitoring traceability are increasing.

Faster analysis, better control

Modern food analysis methods make it possible to bring quality control closer to the production process and make decisions more quickly.

ATP provides immediate results on the level of cleanliness.
Protein tests detect organic residues and assess allergen risks.
Petrifilm, contact plates swab testssimplify microbiological testing and reduce turnaround times.
Allergen testing and mycotoxin analysis ensure the quality of raw materials and proper labeling.
LAMP PCR BAX) enable rapid, automated pathogen analysis.

The result is shorter lead times, more frequent analyses, and better control over the process—with lower inventory costs and faster corrective action in the event of deviations.
