What Types of Products Can Tentamus Test and How Do I Find the Right Service?

Updated

Tentamus tests products that affect human wellness — primarily food and related consumer goods — through a network of specialized laboratories. To find the right service, start with the product or product group you want checked, then match it to the relevant analysis type (chemical, microbiological, molecular, sensory, or mechanical) and the consulting or training service that fits your situation. The site provides a product search field ("What do you want to check? Type in your product or product group") as the intended entry point.

What Tentamus covers

Tentamus describes itself as a global partner for analysis, safety, and consultancy, focused on "the testing, auditing, and consulting of products that impact human wellness from within." Its stated scale is:

Dimension Figure
Countries 23
Locations 90
Employees 3,500

Services are grouped into three areas on the site:

  • Analyses — customized analyses through the worldwide laboratory network
  • Consulting — individual consulting with fast response times
  • Training — training and consulting in hygiene and HACCP, plus infection protection and sensory training

Product categories you can search for

The site's search prompt accepts a product or product group, which is the most direct way to check whether Tentamus handles your item. The listed service areas point to these product-related domains:

  • Food and food products — the strongest signal, given the food fraud, labeling, hygiene, and HACCP services
  • Products requiring residue analysis — residues are listed as a standalone analysis type
  • Products needing microbiological or molecular biological testing — relevant to food safety and quality work
  • Products assessed by sensory testing — sensory evaluation is offered both as an analysis and as training
  • Products requiring mechanical testing — listed alongside the other analysis types

Because the site organizes services by industry ("Your industry – our expertise") as well as by analysis type, the practical approach is to search your product first, then confirm which industry page and analysis category it maps to.

Matching your product to the right analysis type

Use this as a starting filter, based on the service names Tentamus publishes:

If your concern is… Look for…
Contaminants, composition, or chemical properties Chemical Analyses
Pesticide or other residues Residue Analysis
Pathogens, spoilage organisms, hygiene indicators Microbiological Testing
DNA-based identification, authenticity, GMOs Molecular Biological Analysis
Taste, texture, aroma, consumer perception Sensory Testing
Physical performance or durability of a product Mechanical Testing
Authenticity claims, mislabeling Food Fraud, Labeling
Compliance systems and processes Quality Management, Hygiene & HACCP
Getting a new product or business off the ground Start-up Consulting
Getting samples to the lab Sample Collection & Logistics

How to actually find your service

  1. Enter your product or product group in the search field on the homepage ("What do you want to check?"). This is the site's own routing mechanism.
  2. Check the industry section ("Your industry – our expertise") if your product doesn't return a clear match — services are also organized by sector.
  3. Identify the analysis type you need from the table above.
  4. Decide whether you also need consulting or training — these are separate service lines, not bundled automatically with testing.
  5. Contact the relevant laboratory through the network. Tentamus emphasizes "close collaboration with our customers" and "quick response times" as service characteristics, and each laboratory is described as a market leader in its own sector — so the right lab depends on your product and test type.

What to keep in mind

  • Specialization matters. Tentamus states its labs are "each… a market leader in its own sector," which means not every location handles every product. The product search and industry pages exist precisely to route you.
  • Consulting and training are distinct offerings. If you need help interpreting results, setting up a quality system, or training staff, that's a separate request from submitting a sample.
  • No pricing is published on the page. The site shows a "subscribe" signal but no pricing links or payment platforms, so cost and turnaround need to be confirmed directly with the relevant lab.
  • The network is the point. With 90 locations across 23 countries, the value proposition is matching your product to a specialized lab rather than using one generalist facility.

If your product isn't obviously food-related, the fastest path is still the product search field — it's designed to accept a product or product group and route you to the appropriate service within the network.
