Laboratory pipette dispensing samples into a test tray for food testing

Service

Plant Design & Laboratory Setup

Hygienic plant layout, product flow and zoning, plus microbiological and chemical laboratory establishment and method validation.

Getting layout right at the start saves expensive changes later. We advise on hygienic design, product, people and waste flow, and high/low-risk zoning — and help set up in-house microbiological and chemical laboratories with validated methods.
