Laboratory Testing
Verify whether your hygiene controls are working.
Cleaning schedules and sanitation SOPs are intentions; environmental monitoring is the evidence. Timor Labs designs and tests swabbing programs that show whether hygiene controls are actually working — and helps you respond when they are not.

Monitoring is not the same as product testing
Product testing asks whether a batch is acceptable. Environmental monitoring asks whether the facility is under control. Cleaning verification checks whether a specific cleaning event worked; process validation demonstrates that a process consistently achieves its intended control.
Each answers a different question, and confusing them leads to wrong conclusions. We help you choose the right tool for the decision at hand.
How a program works
A typical program moves from facility zones to a sampling plan, then to scheduled collection, laboratory testing, trend analysis and corrective action where needed. Results are reviewed over time — a single swab is a data point, but a trend is a management tool.
