With our state-of-art technologies and facilities, we possess the ability to test foods, water, cosmetics and natural health products for pathogens, chemicals, mycotoxins, vitamins and nutritional value. Our microbiology services include testing against fungi (yeast & mold), bacteria (Escherichia coli including O157:H7, Salmonella and Listeria spp., etc.). We can also provide molecular biology services for the detection of bacteria, viruses (e.g., hepatitis A virus, norovirus and enteroviruses) and fungi in food, water and environmental samples.
Key tests include (but are not limited to):
