Pathogen & Spoilage Testing
Food Pathogen Detection is a critical pillar of modern Molecular Biology Food Testing, ensuring that harmful microorganisms are identified before they threaten product quality, consumer safety, or regulatory compliance. Our Food Pathogen Detection & Spoilage Testing services use rapid Real-Time PCR and advanced molecular tools to deliver fast, sensitive, and accurate results for both pathogens and spoilage organisms. This approach allows you to detect risks early, prevent costly contamination incidents, and maintain full control over your food and feed production processes. Whether you require routine screening or targeted verification, our molecular expertise provides the clarity and confidence needed to protect your brand and keep your products safe throughout their shelf life.

Pathogen & Spoilage Testing Services
To ensure consumer & food safety, food must be free of pathogens & comply with current legislation. To ensure safety from pathogenic microorganisms, QACSFOOD Lab performs reliable and rapid (24h) pathogen detection analyses via Real Time PCR.
The tests are applied for quality control and microbiological monitoring of final products and the production unit. The analysis aims to reliably ensure product quality, something that only Real Time PCR technology can offer due to its high sensitivity and reliability. Real Time PCR is the most accurate and reliable method used for the detection of pathogenic bacteria Salmonella spp, Listeria spp, Listeria monocytogenes, Shigella spp., Escherichia coli O157, Clostridium sporogenes etc.
In the food and beverage industry, the rapid Detection of Spoilage Microorganisms contributes greatly to the Safety and Quality of products. Each food faces specific microbiological threats, e.g. fungi in yogurts, yeasts in yogurts, cheeses, beers, juices and soft drinks, Alicyclobacillus in juices etc. The speed of detection of microorganisms is of paramount importance for the reliable and timely release of products.
Modern solutions are provided to the food and beverage industry with the detection of bacteria and yeasts/molds in a range of products. The complete analysis is performed with enrichment and Real Time PCR in 48 hours and provides reliable results for timely assessment of the microbiological status of a production. Timely and valid analysis saves time in product release and guarantees microbiological safety, protects against recalls and consumer complaints.
