  Fruit Beverage Testing Laboratory
  Basic Purpose of Laboratory:
Testing of processed dairy and fruit beverage products to meet recognized food quality and safety standards.

Range and Types of Samples:
All dairy and fruit beverage raw materials, process water, packaging and finished products as well as samples from sanitary testing of the mechanical equipment used in the manufacturing process.

Scope of Work and Supply:
Identification of the analytical procedures to be used; determination of the instruments, equipment, and laboratory information management systems specifications, and consumables, supplies, spare parts required for the operation of a fully functioning Dairy and Fruit Beverage Product Testing Laboratory. Thermo Fisher Scientific's scope can include project management, procurement, delivery, installation, and commissioning, training, warranty and product support, and preventive maintenance agreements to provide a fully functioning laboratory on a "turnkey" basis.

Identification of Analytical Methods to be used and determination of recognized legal authorities:
Based on USA Food Standards as incorporated in the AOAC "Official Methods of Analysis" 17th Edition through Revision 2 (2003); "Food Analysis" 2nd Edition 1998 and Compendium of Methods for the Biological Examination of Foods" 4th Edition (2001). Other reference methodologies can be used if required by geopolitical considerations.

Sampling Techniques, Frequencies and Handling:
Covers the identification, implementation of industry recognized techniques for the safe and proper taking of samples for analysis, estimation of required sampling frequency for target confidence levels and the proper temporary/long-term storage conditions of retention samples based on the typical shelf-life of dairy products.

Recommended Instrument / Equipment Lists:
Develop and specify instruments, equipment lists based on the selected analytical testing methods for the types of dairy and fruit beverage product samples to be analyzed, includes: standard instruments for physical, microbiological and chemical testing, standard lab equipment, lab information management systems, supplies and consumables.

Laboratory Layout:
Layout and design of laboratory furniture and equipment placement that takes into consideration the space available (or defining the space), sample flow, utility requirements and distribution, special requirements for hazardous sample handling, storage, sterilization, sample retention, and office/clerical/supervisory office space. Mobile, or field self-contained testing units are also considered and planned.
