Rapid, Validated Real-Time PCR Pathogen and Spoilage Detection for Food Safety Testing
Protect your products, customers, and brand reputation with Hygiena’s internationally certified pathogen and spoilage detection tests. Our real-time PCR solutions ensure stress-free regulatory compliance and protect public health.
Challenges Food Manufacturers Face in Pathogen Testing and Spoilage Detection
Undetected pathogens such as Listeria, Salmonella, or E. coli can trigger recalls and foodborne illness outbreaks. Reliable pathogen detection protects consumers and preserves brand reputation.
Traditional food pathogen testing takes days, slowing release and adding costs. The Hygiena real-time PCR testing delivers rapid, accurate results so you can confidently ship sooner.
Manual data tracking makes audits time-consuming and prone to errors. Streamline PCR-based testing and Hygiena SureTrend® software to simplify lab communication, reporting and traceability.
Food safety teams are constantly adapting to comply with global standards. The Hygiena certified PCR pathogen and spoilage organism detection solutions help ensure compliance worldwide.
