NSF Laboratory Tour:

NSF was founded in 1944 at the University of Michigan School of Public Health to develop consensus national standards related to the sanitation of food and water; our mission is to improve human and planet health. This tour of the NSF laboratories will take you through some of the over 130,000 ft2 of lab space at NSF’s headquarters located in Ann Arbor, MI. These state-of-the-art, ISO/IEC 17025-accredited and OSHA Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories (NRTL) include the leading drinking water treatment systems laboratory worldwide for assessing water filtration performance and material safety, and the leading laboratory for testing for contaminants and athletic banned substances in dietary supplements and functional foods. Other labs on-site include bio-safety cabinetry testing and the engineering and microbiology labs that are fundamental to food equipment evaluations. NSF welcomes you to see the work we do every day to support our shared missions and hope you enjoy the tour!
