Environmental Pathogen Testing Solutions
Despite increasing regulation governing the testing and control of pathogens in the processing environment, pathogenic contaminations remain a consumer threat. To ensure utmost safety, pathogen tests and the inspection of processing environments should be constantly improved.
Romer Labs offers fast, reliable and easy-to-use test systems for:
Fast and simple procedure
The simple preparation of enrichment media and quick and easy sample preparation enable test results to be available within the next day. These can be read easily and directly from the developed strip, without the need for specialized and costly equipment.
Reliable results
