Food Microbiology (QMS)
"The food microbiology proficiency testing scheme with the world's most extensive analyte range…"
Food poisoning outbreaks are not just dangerous for consumers, but also potentially ruinous to consumer confidence, brand reputation and value, as well as company profitability. At their worst, they can even result in civil, and perhaps criminal, charges.
Laboratories performing food testing must therefore display constant vigilance against potential pathogens, spoilage- and indicator organisms - as well as demonstrate that their results are accurate and meaningful enough to form part of a robust quality assurance programme.
To support laboratories across the world with this dual challenge, LGC AXIO Proficiency Testing’s Food Microbiology Scheme (QMS) provides the most exhaustive food microbiology proficiency testing offer on the market in terms of analytes - from routine testing, including Shigella, to rare analytes such as psychrotrophic bacteria and bifidobacteriaceae.
QMS also supplies a wide variety of matrices reflecting the real-world range of substances that our participating laboratories demand – including a wide selection of samples where Salmonella is the target analyte, but also more specialised items requested by our customers.
