Setting up a functional in-house food testing lab empowers manufacturers to monitor quality, ensure safety, and achieve faster compliance. At Infinity Food Solutions, we provide end-to-end support for establishing practical, cost-effective labs — including food testing kits, microbiology & packaging stations, and NABL-model guidelines — tailored for routine testing, sensory evaluation, and audit readiness.
- Food testing kits & demo stations
- Microbiology & packaging testing labs
- Guidelines for NABL model labs & accreditation support
- Equipment selection, layout planning & calibration guidance
- Staff training on lab SOPs & testing protocols
Core Elements
Key Components of Hands-on Lab Setup
1. Food Testing Kits & Demo Stations
Practical, ready-to-use setups for routine quality checks:
- Rapid test kits for moisture, pH, acidity, peroxide value, adulteration
- Sensory evaluation booths & demo stations for taste, texture, aroma
- Basic chemical analysis kits (titration, refractometry)
- Swab & ATP kits for surface hygiene verification
Enable quick in-house decisions and reduce external lab dependency.
2. Microbiology & Packaging Testing Labs
Dedicated zones for microbial safety and packaging integrity:
- Microbiology lab: Laminar flow, incubator, autoclave, media prep area
- Basic pathogen screening (TPC, coliforms, yeast & mold)
- Packaging lab: Seal strength, leak detection, migration testing equipment
- Environmental monitoring (air quality, swab sampling)
Support HACCP verification and shelf-life validation.
3. Guidelines for NABL Model Labs
Structured support toward NABL/ISO 17025 readiness (if desired):
- Lab layout & workflow design per NABL 112 & ISO 17025
- Equipment qualification, calibration & maintenance schedules
- Quality manual, SOPs, proficiency testing & inter-lab comparison plans
- Documentation for scope of accreditation & audit preparation
Optional pathway to formal recognition for third-party testing credibility.
4. Lab Infrastructure & Training
Complete setup and operational readiness:
- Equipment sourcing, installation & validation guidance
- Utilities planning: water quality, power backup, waste disposal
- Staff training on safe lab practices, testing methods & record-keeping
- Internal quality control & proficiency testing protocols
Ensure lab is functional, safe, and audit-compliant from day one.
