SSQC – specialists in food and drink microbiology, chemistry, aquaculture, and water quality testing – will attend the ASSG Conference 2025 in Oban (1–2 October) for the first time, showcasing its new Sensoreal  rapid testing for detection of toxins in shellfish.

The laboratory-based service provides fast, accurate detection of ASP, DSP, and PSP toxins, helping the shellfish sector access reliable results quickly.

“Our first attendance at the ASSG Conference marks an important step for SSQC,” said Steven Laidlaw, Managing Director. “We have recently expanded the availability of microbiological testing services across Scotland and already support many customers in the seafood sector.

“We are attending the conference to demonstrate to shellfish growers how, with Sensoreal, we’re meeting a clear need in the sector for rapid, efficient biotoxin testing in a laboratory environment that producers and regulators can trust.

“We also look forward to the opportunity to understand the wider needs of those attending the conference and how best we can support them in the future.”

Conference delegates can meet the SSQC team at their stand to find out more about the service and how it can support shellfish safety and compliance.
