We offer extensive expertise in food safety, including detection of pathogens (S. aureus, L. monocytogenes, verotoxigenic E. coli, Salmonella spp.) and isolation of lytic bacteriophages. In food fraud, we apply NIRS technology for quality control, authenticity, and traceability of agri-food products. We provide access to advanced lab facilities and a portable MicroNIR™ 1700 OnSite-W spectrophotometer. We contribute to EU projects such as TID4AGRO, NECA, GOOD, MARGINUP!, and TECH4EFFICIENCYEDIH.
