Soft Drinks & Fruit Juice (QBS)

"... testing that meets microbiologists' and chemists' needs" 

The soft drinks and fruit juice industries face considerable challenges in meeting expectations that products comply with exacting standards around the world. Contamination from microorganisms, chemicals, and foreign matter can all compromise product quality - and lead to ‘out-of-specification’ products that result in product disposal, lost production, and considerable associated costs. The Proficiency Testing Quality in Beverages Scheme (QBS) is tailored to support the needs of chemists and microbiologists working on the compliance, safety, and quality of soft drinks, fruit juices, and carbonated drinks. Covering nutritional, elemental and vitamin analysis in addition to quality and microbiology, and featuring a wide range of samples, QBS is a soft drinks and fruit juice proficiency testing scheme designed to help your laboratory ensure that products are manufactured to the highest standards.
