Welcome to Clarity Standards Laboratory (CSL).
At Clarity Standards Laboratory (CSL), we are committed to delivering excellence in independent, third-party testing services.
With state-of-the-art facilities and a team of expert professionals, we provide reliable, timely, and accurate testing solutions tailored to the needs of various industries. Our services cover a wide array of sectors, ensuring safety, compliance, and quality in all we do.
Our services
We specialize in both Microbiology and Chemistry testing, catering to industries that require high standards in product safety and quality. Here’s an overview of the key services we offer:
1. Microbiology Testing Services
Microbiological contamination poses a significant risk to food, water, personal care products, and more. We conduct rigorous microbiological tests to ensure the safety and hygiene of these products.
Our core microbiological tests include:
Total Viable Count (TVC): This test measures all living microorganisms in a sample. A high TVC can indicate contamination or poor hygiene, while a low TVC suggests better quality.
Yeasts and Molds: These organisms contaminate a variety of food, health, and personal care products. Their presence may cause spoilage or economic loss. Certain molds produce harmful mycotoxins.
Enterobacteriaceae & Coliforms: Testing for these bacteria is vital in identifying fecal contamination in food and water. Common examples include Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Salmonella, both of which can cause severe illness.
Pathogen Detection: We offer comprehensive detection services for pathogens like Listeria monocytogenes, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella, and Bacillus cereus, among others. These organisms are responsible for food borne illnesses and public health concerns.
Water Quality Testing: Ensuring safe drinking water is crucial, and our microbiology tests assess water for bacterial contamination, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Legionella, both of which indicate the potential for other harmful pathogens.
By monitoring specific pathogens, CSL helps maintain the highest safety and quality standards for food and water supplies, protecting both consumers and industries from microbial risks.
2. Chemistry Testing Services
At CSL, we also provide advanced chemistry testing to ensure that your products meet regulatory and safety standards. Our chemistry services include:
Food Composition Analysis: We offer testing for nutritional content, including macronutrients (proteins, carbohydrates, fats) and micronutrients (vitamins, minerals), ensuring that food products meet labeling requirements and dietary standards.
Contaminant Detection: We analyze food and water samples for chemical contaminants, such as heavy metals, pesticides, and other hazardous chemicals that may pose risks to human health.
Water Quality Testing: Besides microbial testing, we provide water chemistry analysis, including pH, turbidity, water hardness, BOD, COD, and so much more, helping industries comply with water safety regulations.
3. Personal Care & Hygiene Product Testing
In addition to food and water, we offer rigorous testing for personal care and hygiene products. Our challenge tests assess the effectiveness of product preservation systems, ensuring that personal care items such as lotions, creams, and hygiene products are free from harmful microbial contamination like Staphylococcus aureus, molds, and yeast.
4. ISO 17025 Accreditation & Compliance
Our laboratory operates under requirements for ISO 17025 accreditation, ensuring that our testing procedures are carried out with the highest levels of accuracy and precision.
We follow international standards and regulations, providing peace of mind to our clients that our testing results are reliable and trustworthy.
