Solutions for quality control management
Quality Control in food processing facilities is a vital part of creating great products…and it can often be quite stressful and expensive. The good news is that it does not have to be!
In-house Quality Control Monitoring
Our Praecautio in-house QC monitoring swabs are designed to…
- give rapid results (24 hours)
- be easy to use
- be inexpensive compared to lab tests
How they work…
The Praecautio swabs are designed to change colour in the presence of a target bacterial contaminant. If a specific colour change is seen, it indicates that that particular contaminant has been detected…and then steps can be taken to mitigate that risk.
We have three swabs…
- E.coli
- Staph aureus
- Salmonella

Setting up laboratories
It can be daunting setting up a lab. We come alongside start-up labs to offer support in set up as well as the admin side of Standard Operating Procedure writing and implementation. Our speciality is microbiological labs.
Support for established labs
Some labs want to “take it to the next level”. This often means systems and Standard Operating Procedures – the “not-so-romantic” aspect of being a scientist. Let us help you.
Research projects
From conceptualisation to data analysis to drafting that all important scientific papers to actually getting it published…that is where we can support you.
New product development
If there is a problem that needs solving – or an idea that needs implementing – we love the R&D that goes with these. In fact we have developed some of our own ideas into products (you can check them out here). Let us help you get idea to be a reality.
Innovation
We keep coming across good ideas. We love to collaborate with organisations who have their own set of strengths, bring our strengths and together end up innovating. There are some exciting prospects in this space in the pipeline…watch this space.
Products
We have developed some awesome microbiology products specifically for the food and water industries that can be used to check hygiene on-site – without the need of a lab!
Our Latest Project
We have been working with a local company, Economic Sense, who has had a project up in Africa improving the Dairy Production Value Chain. What an awesome project to be involved in! There have been a number of different aspects to what we have been doing…
Setting up a field lab
We set up a field lab at one of the dairy processing facilities so that they could check the quality of the raw milk and their products on-site.
Uplifting an existing food lab
Capacity building in Standard Operating Procedure drafting and implementation, training in techniques, implementing new test methods…all this and more to with a view to the lab becoming an amazing resource to the cause of food safety.
Research project
We set up a research project to see if a Zero Energy Cooling Chamber could be used to extend the life of dairy products…very exciting stuff!!
