Our food lab equipment range

Our range focuses on the gear you need to run microbiology and quality checks in-house, from compact incubators to the Bostwick consistometer for viscosity testing.

  • Cultura Incubator: a mini incubator for on-site water and food testing. It includes a multitrack and thermometer, holds at least 80 Petrifilm plates and is easy to clean.
  • MiniT Dry Block Incubator + 12 Well Block: a digital dry block incubator designed for SwabSURE environmental pathogen swabs and Allertec swabs, with flexible temperature control.
  • 12 Well Block for MiniT: a spare block for the MiniT small incubator.
  • Bostwick Consistometer and Long Bostwick Consistometer: simple, reliable tools for measuring the flow and consistency of sauces, dressings, purees and other viscous products.

Using lab equipment safely

Good habits protect your staff and your results. Benchtop-sized equipment also makes it easier to work accurately during a busy shift.

01

Check equipment and glassware for cracks or damage before use.

02

Calibrate thermometers, balances and pipettes on a set schedule.

03

Keep incubators at the right temperature and log readings.

04

Clean benches and equipment between samples to avoid contaminant transfer.

05

Follow compliance rules for handling, storage and disposal.

Lab equipment for food safety and quality control

Bringing basic testing in-house gives you faster answers and better control. With an incubator and Petrifilm or Compact Dry plates, you can run total counts, coliform and yeast and mould tests on site.

The same equipment suits environmental testing of surfaces. Results support your HACCP plan, shelf life checks and supplier approval. Physical tests, such as Bostwick flow, help keep every batch consistent with your product specification.

How to choose and use basic laboratory equipment for your laboratory's needs

Start with the tests you need to run. A small food business may only need an incubator and test plates. A larger site, research lab or university lab may need a full suite of analytical instruments.

Think about sample volume, precision, durability and how easy the equipment is to clean. Reliability matters more than features for daily use.

Food lab equipment questions

What a typical food lab needs and where specialist equipment fits.
What laboratory equipment is used in a food lab?
  • Incubator: holds plates or swabs at a set temperature so bacteria, yeast and mould can grow for counting
  • Glassware: beakers, flasks, test tubes and cylinders for liquid samples and reagents
  • Pipettes: for accurate, repeatable volumes
  • Balance: precision scales for weighing samples
  • Oven and refrigeration: for drying, heating and sample storage
  • Centrifuge: to separate solids from liquids
  • Spectrophotometer: measures colour and concentration
  • Refractometer: for sugar (Brix) checks
  • Grinder or blender: to homogenise samples
  • Titration set: for acidity and salt tests
  • Consistometer or viscometer: for texture and flow testing
Glassware, spectrophotometer and other scientific equipment for research laboratories

Borosilicate glass is heat and chemical resistant, so it stands up to repeated washing and sterilising. Research and pathology labs may also need high-accuracy instruments with tight thermal control. HACCP Plus focuses on the food safety testing side, including incubators and ready-to-use test plates.
Which incubator do I need for SwabSURE pathogen kits?

The MiniT Dry Block Incubator is designed for SwabSURE swabs, and the Cultura Incubator also suits them. See our pathogen testing kits.
