Linlithgow laboratory supporting Scottish food businesses

Eurofins Food Testing UK Ltd’s Linlithgow laboratory is a dedicated Scottish facility, providing high‑quality, accredited microbiology and food safety testing for businesses across Scotland.

Formerly Express Micro Science, the Linlithgow site is recognised as a centre of excellence in microbiological testing and has recently undergone significant investment and refurbishment, increasing capacity, improving turnaround times, and enhancing specialist testing capabilities.

As UKAS No. 2622 accredited laboratory, Eurofins Food Testing UK’s Linlithgow laboratory offers a broad range of routine and advanced microbiology services, alongside specialist capabilities such as abuse shelf-life testing and CSPO testing; services that are available through only a small number of laboratories.

Importantly, Linlithgow customers benefit from local testing delivered in Scotland, backed by the full Eurofins Food Testing UK’s network of laboratories and European network of competence centres. This means efficient Scottish logistics, expert local support, and seamless access to additional specialist testing when required; all coordinated through a single trusted partner.

Conveniently located off the M9 between Edinburgh and Falkirk, the laboratory is strategically placed to serve the central belt and beyond, providing fast, reliable, and expert‑driven results to help Scottish food businesses meet regulatory, quality, and safety requirements with confidence.
