Pathogen Testing
Ensure the safety of your products and protect your brand reputation with high-performance pathogen testing from TAAG Europe. Our laboratory services offer rapid, reliable, and accredited detection of foodborne pathogens in both food and environmental samples.
What We Offer
- AIGOR™ Ultra-Fast PCR for Salmonella
Our lab uses TAAG’s proprietary AIGOR™ technology to deliver same-day results for Salmonella detection. This ultra-fast PCR method significantly reduces product hold times, enabling faster decision-making and quicker market release—without compromising accuracy.
- Multiplex PCR Panels
For broader screening, we offer multiplex PCR assays capable of detecting multiple pathogens in a single test. These panels cover key organisms such as Salmonella spp., Listeria spp., L. monocytogenes, E. coli, and others. Results are typically available within 48 hours, making this an ideal solution for routine monitoring and risk management.
- Culture-Based Methods
When regulatory compliance or confirmatory testing is required, we provide ISO-accredited culture-based methods. These traditional techniques remain the gold standard for pathogen detection and are essential for official reporting and validation.
Sample Types and Applications
We test a wide range of sample types, including:
- Raw materials and finished food products.
- Environmental swabs from production facilities.
- Water and surface samples.
- High-risk zones in food processing environments.
Our services are designed to support HACCP programs, quality assurance protocols, and regulatory compliance across the food and beverage industry.
