Targeted Spoilage Monitoring

Targeted Environmental Monitoring for Spoilage.

Food quality can be jeopardized by spoilage microorganisms lurking in production equipment. Our advanced testing identifies specific genera or species of these microorganisms, enabling you to enhance cleaning protocols and extend product shelf life.

Uncover Potential Sources of Contamination. 

By pinpointing the microorganisms responsible for spoilage, we provide crucial insights into their modes of entry and proliferation on food contact surfaces. Our Spoilage Detector Test is designed to identify spoilage microorganisms across a wide range of products.

Comprehensive Spoilage Detection Tailored to You.

We screen for ten common spoilage microorganisms tailored to your product type, packaging, and storage conditions to help you identify the root cause of spoilage.

Understanding Food Spoilage:

The microorganisms responsible for food spoilage vary based on your production environment, product type, packaging, and storage temperature.

Did You Know?

Only a small fraction of the microorganisms present in spoiled food are actually responsible for its undesirable characteristics.

Innovative Testing with Proven Methods

At Mikrolab, we combine traditional methods with cutting-edge technology to deliver unparalleled results. Our unique approach integrates membrane filtration with Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) for precise identification.

Extend Your Product Shelf Life with Our Unmatched Methodology

Membrane Filtration Advantage:

Improved limit of detection

Removal of growth inhibitors

Enumeration of injured cells

Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) Advantage:

Highly sensitive detection

Real-time imaging

Rapid detection

Our methodology enables the detection of bacteria in the viable but not culturable state (VBNC). Spoilage bacteria in the VBNC state fail to grow on the routine bacteriological media on which they would normally grow and develop into colonies, but still live and have metabolic activity in your products.

Combat the Financial Burden of Spoilage

Food spoilage poses a significant financial challenge for businesses. Take proactive steps to minimize waste and protect your bottom line.
