The quality and integrity of solid and liquid food samples are assessed using food and beverage testing lab equipment. Food safety is a major source of consumer concern, and the future of food safety begins with laboratory or field testing. Food testing is important for food safety, but it may also be used for standard quality control.

Pipettes, tips, and automated liquid handling solutions are available, as well as microplates and microplate instruments, for everyday lab use, baths, hotplates, stirrers, and shakers, ovens, and microbiological incubators, centrifuges, and other equipment.
