🥛 World Milk Day celebrates everything dairy does right, and that starts with quality and safety behind the scenes.

For dairy manufacturers and QA laboratories, that means verifying allergen removal and confirming where milk proteins are present throughout the production process. It also means ensuring milk proteins are fully eliminated from unintended areas and monitoring for microbial contamination at every stage to support product quality and consumer safety.

Hardy Diagnostics supports these workflows with practical testing solutions like:

CompactDry™ EC for 𝘌. 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘪 and coliform detection:

Reliable testing helps support cleaner equipment, safer production, and greater confidence in every batch.

🧪 Celebrating Clinical Trials Day

Today we recognize the impact of clinical research and the history behind modern clinical trials.

In 1747, Scottish physician James Lind conducted what is widely recognized as the first modern clinical trial while studying treatments for scurvy among sailors at sea. By comparing different remedies, he discovered that citrus fruits were highly effective in improving symptoms of the disease and hence the nickname of “Limeys” for British sailors. 🍋

Lind’s work helped lay the foundation for evidence-based medicine and the clinical trial process still used today.
