Fieldglass Laboratories is developing practical environmental microbiology and sanitation monitoring services for food businesses in the Salt Lake City area.
Discuss Your Testing NeedsWe are building a laboratory focused on helping food businesses understand their environments through clear, actionable microbial monitoring.
We plan and perform environmental sampling at your facility, with site-specific monitoring locations and schedules designed around your operations. Microbiological testing will follow as methods become available.
Rapid surface cleanliness screening to help facilities assess sanitation practices and identify opportunities for follow-up.
Culture-based enumeration services under development, including yeast and mold, coliforms, and Enterobacteriaceae.
Pathogen screening and additional methods may be considered in future phases, subject to technical and regulatory readiness.
Fieldglass Laboratories is a developing independent environmental microbiology business serving the Salt Lake City area.
Founded by a microbiology professional with experience in laboratory operations and molecular testing, Fieldglass aims to make environmental monitoring more accessible, understandable, and responsive to the needs of local food businesses.
Our model centers on personalized environmental monitoring plans, on-site sample collection, clear results, and long-term local partnerships—not one-size-fits-all testing programs.
We're speaking with local quality, food safety, and operations teams to understand their existing programs and what they would value in an independent testing partner.
Share your current testing needs, sample volumes, turnaround expectations, and pain points.
We'll discuss which planned capabilities may be relevant and what qualifications your organization requires.
Interested businesses can receive updates and discuss future service arrangements as capabilities are established.
Answers to common questions while Fieldglass Laboratories is in development.
Fieldglass Laboratories expects to begin receiving samples shortly after its facilities, methods, and operating procedures are ready. We are preparing for launch and welcome inquiries now. Contact us to be notified when sample acceptance begins; a firm opening date has not yet been announced.
Initial planning focuses on ATP sanitation verification and environmental microbiological indicator testing, including yeast and mold, coliforms, and Enterobacteriaceae. The final service menu depends on method development, verification or validation as applicable, facilities, and other operational requirements.
Fieldglass plans to serve food businesses in the Salt Lake City area, including on-site collection and customized environmental monitoring plans. Specific geographic coverage and scheduling will be confirmed as the laboratory opens.
Yes. On-site sample collection will be a core part of our service. Fieldglass plans to work with each client to develop a facility-specific environmental monitoring plan, identify sampling locations and schedules, and collect samples directly—reducing the work your team needs to manage. Collection will begin once operations launch.
Turnaround times (TAT) have not yet been established. Our goal is to offer timelines comparable to other testing laboratories, with opportunities for faster overall service because a dedicated Fieldglass representative will collect samples on site rather than requiring clients to arrange shipping. Actual TAT will depend on the test and validated or verified methods and will be published before sample acceptance.
Fieldglass Laboratories is not currently accredited. We intend to pursue ISO/IEC 17025 laboratory accreditation after the laboratory is established and its methods and quality system are ready. Any future accreditation status and scope will be communicated clearly; accreditation is not guaranteed.
No. Submitting an inquiry is simply a way to discuss potential needs and receive a response. It does not create a service agreement or guarantee availability.
