Your trusted partner for food testing

We make every effort to keep our methods and detection limits up to date according to the latest standards and qualifications. If you have any questions regarding the limit of detection/quantification or method references, please contact our Customer Service team at 1-800-245-5615.

Our standard turnaround time is 10 business days for most assays. There are some assays that require a longer turnaround time. We also offer a RUSH service that is half the time of the standard turnaround time of the assay at double the cost of the assay. A few assays that we provide cannot be rushed due to the nature of the test. Please check the specific assay you are interested in regarding the ability to RUSH the turnaround time.

At Medallion, we try to offer the most sophisticated and current testing capabilities, and strive to keep our website up to date with our recent test offerings. If you do not see the analysis you require, please contact our Customer Service team at 1-800-245-5615. If we cannot run the assay you need, we will do our best to recommend you to another lab that can fulfill your request.

Food testing labs commonly provide services such as microbiological testing, chemical and nutritional analysis, as well as shelf-life testing of food products.

To find reputable food testing companies, look for accreditation from organizations like ISO/IEC 17025, proficiency testing participation, industry reputation, compliance with regulatory bodies, and positive client reviews and references.

Chromatography in food testing is a technique used to separate, identify, and quantify various components within food samples. It relies on the differential distribution of substances between two phases, typically a stationary and a mobile phase, to analyze compounds such as pesticides, additives, flavors, and more.

Chromatography plays a crucial role in ensuring food safety by detecting and quantifying contaminants, additives, pesticides, and other harmful substances present in food. By accurately analyzing food samples, chromatography helps in regulatory compliance and quality control, ensuring consumer safety.

Food testing techniques refer to the specific methods or approaches utilized in analyzing food samples. These techniques can include chromatography, spectrometry, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and sensory evaluation, among others. Each technique serves a distinct purpose in identifying, quantifying, or characterizing components within food products.
