Microbiological Testing

• Microbiological testing is used in
  pharmaceutical, cosmetic, municipal water, and
  food and beverage industries to provide safe
  products for consumption. From bioburden testing
  to mycoplasma detection, pathogen and spoilage
  testing, pyrogen testing, sterility testing, air
  monitoring, and surface testing, a variety of
  techniques are routinely employed to ensure
  safety and regulatory compliance.

Bioburden Testing

• Bioburden is the presence of microorganisms on a
  surface (or complete item), inside a device, or
  from a portion of liquid, prior to sterilization.
  Bioburden can be introduced from the raw
  materials used in the manufacturing process, via
  the workforce or manufacturing environment.
• Bioburden testing is performed for medical
  devices, pharmaceuticals, packaging, raw
  materials, human tissue, animal tissue, and
  cosmetics.

Mycoplasma Testing

• Mycoplasma contamination is a widespread and
  recurring problem in a wide variety of cell
  culture systems. They can cause diverse effects
  on cultured cells including altered metabolism,
  slowed proliferation, and chromosomal
  aberrations. For More Details Click Here

Pathogen Spoilage Testing
Pathogen testing is used to identify pathogenic
organisms in manufacturing environments,
ingredients or finished products that could harm
the consumer it performed throughout the
production process from raw materials to finished
product screening to ensure consumer safety and
is subject to strict food safety regulatory
guidelines. For More Details Click Here
5
Pyrogen Testing

• Pyrogen testing determines the presence or
  absence of pyrogens in parenteral pharmaceutical
  products it can occur during production or the
  administration of pharmaceuticals,
  biotherapeutics, and medical devices, but the
  presence of pyrogens can also be an inherent
  characteristic of the product, such as adjuvants
  in vaccines or synthetic lipopeptides. For More

Sterility Testing
Sterility testing procedures are applied to
products in many industries, including food and
beverage manufacturers, but the main industries
are the pharmaceutical and medical sectors where
the sterility testing of the products remains a
vital and routine task for microbiologists. For

Viable Air Monitoring

• Microbial air monitoring is the process of
  sampling and analyzing microbial contamination in
  the air. It is an important step in quality
  control of manufacturers in the pharmaceutical,
  cosmetics, food and beverage industries. For More

Surface Personnel Testing
Surface and personnel testing are methods to
collect, detect, and characterize the levels of
various microorganisms to monitor the efficiency
of disinfection routines in critical and
non-critical manufacturing areas. For More

Media Fills

• A media fill (also known as process simulation)
  test is a critical microbiological test carried
  out to assess the performance of an aseptic
  manufacturing procedure by replacing the
  pharmaceutical or beverage product with a sterile
  culture media.

Microbial Culture Media Preparation
Microbial culture media preparation is the
process of mixing nutrients, agents for buffering
and maintaining the osmotic balance, as well as
selective inhibitors or indicators to create an
agar or broth that supports the growth and the
differentiation of microorganisms. For More
