Microbiology and hygiene

RISE offers a deep, theoretical and practical, knowledge in microbiology and hygiene. Together with your company or organization, we prevent and solve microbiological problems. We also participate with our microbiological expertise in a number of national and international research and innovation projects.

Microbiological issues occur in different ways in a number of industries.  It can be about microbiology that creates added value, such as in fermentation or in probiotics, or that the microorganisms in different ways create problems. We have extensive experience in addressing and solving these microbiological issues related to industries such as food, hygiene, healthcare, pulp/paper, paint and other process industries.
