Independent Testing. Personal Support. Trusted Since 1997.
About BIOTRAX
Biotrax is an independent, family-owned third-party laboratory located in Western New York, specializing in environmental testing, food safety testing, and laboratory testing for food, beverage, water, manufacturing, and quality-focused organizations both regionally and beyond.
Biotrax Testing Laboratory is an ISO/IEC 17025:2017-accredited laboratory established in 1997, specializing in environmental testing and food safety testing. We support organizations that rely on laboratory testing to evaluate products, production environments, water systems, quality programs, customer requirements, and address unexpected concerns. Clients choose Biotrax for defined testing requests, recurring schedules, ongoing quality programs, and thorough product or facility investigations.
Our role is to help clarify the testing objective for environmental testing, establish appropriate sample-submission requirements for food safety testing, perform the requested laboratory testing responsibly, and communicate what the resulting data can and cannot establish. Current accreditation, scope, and water-certification documents are available for review through our Guidance Center.
WHY WE EXIST
Laboratory testing is rarely just about completing a test. A single result can significantly influence a product-release decision, sanitation program, supplier requirement, production schedule, quality investigation, or response to an unexpected concern. This is especially true in fields like environmental testing and food safety testing, where the stakes are high.
Biotrax exists to provide objective laboratory information and knowledgeable support behind those decisions. We perform testing in accordance with applicable methods and laboratory procedures, report what the submitted sample and resulting data support, and communicate any relevant limitations.
Our purpose is straightforward: to provide technically sound laboratory testing and clear information that clients can assess within the context of their products, processes, specifications, and quality programs.
Why Independence Matters
INDEPENDENT BY DESIGN
As an independent third-party laboratory, our responsibility focuses on maintaining the integrity of the environmental testing and laboratory testing processes, as well as ensuring the accuracy of the information we report.
Our role is to provide objective data related to food safety testing—not a predetermined outcome. We report what the submitted sample, selected method, and resulting data support, while also communicating relevant limitations when they apply.
