We utilize cutting-edge technology and adhere to stringent quality control measures to deliver results you can trust. Our services are tailored to various industries and applications, helping you meet regulatory requirements and maintain a high standard of product excellence.

What is Microbial Testing?

Microbial testing, also known as microbiological testing, is the process of identifying and quantifying microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi (yeasts and molds), and viruses in a sample. This is crucial for determining the presence of potentially harmful organisms that can compromise product safety, stability, and shelf-life. Our tests help assess:

• Product Safety: Identifying pathogenic microorganisms that could cause illness or infection.
• Product Quality: Assessing the microbiological load and identifying spoilage organisms impacting product integrity.
• Compliance: Meeting regulatory requirements and industry standards related to microbial contamination.
• Process Validation: Evaluating the effectiveness of sanitation and manufacturing processes.

Our Microbial Testing Services Include:

We offer a wide array of testing options to meet your specific needs, including:

• Total Aerobic Plate Count (APC): Determining the total number of aerobic bacteria present in a sample. This provides a general indication of microbial contamination levels.
• Yeast and Mold Count: Identifying and quantifying the presence of yeasts and molds, which can cause spoilage and produce mycotoxins.
• Coliform Count: Detecting the presence of coliform bacteria, indicating potential fecal contamination.
• E. coli Detection: Identifying Escherichia coli, a specific indicator of fecal contamination and a potential pathogen.
• Salmonella Detection: Detecting the presence of Salmonella species, which are known to cause foodborne illnesses.
• Listeria Detection: Identifying Listeria monocytogenes, a serious foodborne pathogen that can cause listeriosis.
• Staphylococcus aureus Detection: Detecting Staphylococcus aureus, a bacterium that can produce toxins causing food poisoning.
• Microbial Identification: Using advanced techniques like MALDI-TOF MS to identify specific microbial species for more precise analysis.
• Environmental Monitoring: Testing environmental surfaces and air quality in manufacturing facilities to prevent contamination.
• Water Testing: Analyzing water samples for microbial contamination to ensure potable water quality.
• Sterility Testing: Confirming the absence of viable microorganisms in sterile products.
