How CEM innovation and expertise touches our world
Food testing and processing - Whether you’re at the supermarket or a restaurant, you expect high-quality food products and impeccable food safety. CEM has been a leader in food testing for more than 30 years. Our equipment is used to monitor food quality and composition, from fat levels in ice cream or meat, to moisture levels in cheese, to the composition of ketchup and BBQ sauce. We help the food industry operate safely and effectively, so you can relax and enjoy the taste.

 
Environmental and wastewater testing – from our own backyards to our kids’ schools, from our workplaces to the local park, we all want a safe and healthy environment, free from pollutants and toxic chemicals. CEM is a major player in environmental monitoring. Our scientists developed many of the environmental testing methods in common use today, and the company is the leading provider of microwave sample preparation systems used by government and environmental agencies.

 
Pharmaceutical medicines - No-one wants to get sick, but when we do most of us rely on modern medicines for treatment. Our partners in the drug development industry use CEM microwave technology to speed up the rates of chemical reactions, allowing faster drug screening, discovery and synthesis, and ultimately delivering better options for medical care.

 
Health & Beauty – there’s a bewildering array of health and beauty products out there and most of us use some of them every day. Soaps, cosmetics, toothpaste, shampoos and conditioners, creams and lotions, nailcare - the list is endless. All of these products require good manufacturing processes and careful testing. CEM provides tools for compositional monitoring, quality assurance and sample preparation, so you can rest easy, be healthy and look great.     

 
Academic and research institutes – with CEM microwaves in more than 1000 universities and academic institutions, we’re proud to be instrumental in building future scientists and the future of science, every day, around the globe.
