The food safety clock is always ticking...
As a lab professional, you’re under pressure: a heavy workload, complex regulations and procedures to follow, racing to deliver faster results. How can your lab increase its throughput while controlling costs, yet still maintaining accurate results and the highest standards?
Let’s talk efficiency
3M food safety testing solutions have been designed to help you get more from your lab. Our simplified, streamlined workflows are configured for ease of use, and will help your team work smarter and faster. As your food safety partner, we’re here to help you maximise your lab’s efficiency and stay one step ahead of the clock.
-
Validation
3M solutions and products have been internationally recognised and validated for their methods and innovation. Third-party validations confirm that the method has been scrutinised to prove that it is reliable, repeatable and has performed equal to or better than the reference method to which it was compared.
-
Consistency and accuracy
Results you can trust.
Our optimised lab solutions have fewer variables and less opportunity for things to go wrong. That means accurate, repeatable results, time after time. And peace of mind for you. -
Sustainability
Sustainability is an increasingly important goal for companies all over the world and 3M has solutions that can help companies meet sustainability targets whilst supporting their business goals. A prime example is 3M™ Petrifilm™ count plates that help customers reduce waste, cut greenhouse gas emissions, save energy and consume less water, while helping to streamline, standardise and simplify microbial indicator testing.

Hit the ground running
Get a head start on prep.
Many of our components are ready to use out of the box,
colour coded and pre-measured, saving time and reducing risk of error. You’ve got more important things to do with your time. -
Streamline your workflow
Sometimes it’s as easy as 1,2,3.
Our protocols and procedures have been designed for simplicity, with as few steps as possible and less room for error. Our systems are compact, so they take up less bench space. Because the faster you can work, the quicker your time to result. -
Higher testing volume
Maximum capacity, minimum effort.
Our solutions enable you to run multiple tests simultaneously. And our innovative automated plate reader delivers accurate plate counts in just 6 seconds. Achieve a higher throughput, without adding significant extra work.
