Microbiological Tests

Microbiological Tests

Microbial enumerations / counts and microbial identification / detections are important in bioburden / microbial contamination controls. Microbial contamination sources are in to product either by Raw materials / Packaging materials / Water / Environment / Personnel therefore Microbial counts and Pathogen detection are regularly required to save products from spoilage and maintain Product Quality.

Microbiological Enumeration / Counts

  • Total Bacterial Count (TBC) / Total Aerobic Microbial Count (TAMC) / Total Plate Count (TPC)
  • Total Fungal Counts (TFC) / Total Yeast & Mould Counts (TYMC) / Yeast Counts
  • Rubber Products Tests Gloves / Condoms – Bioburden & Antibacterial Tests
  • Probiotic Counts / Lactobacillus Counts
  • Anaerobic Bacterial Counts
  • Bioburden Test
  • Bioindicator Counts
  • Proteolytic & Lipolytic Bacterial Counts
  • Sulphate reducing bacteria

Anaerocbic bacteria

  • Clostridium botulinum
  • Clostridium perfringenes
  • Clostridium sporogenes
  • Sulphite Reducing Anaerobes / Clostridia



Microbial Identifications / Pathogen Detection

Bacteria colonize in traces of carbons, grow faster and continuously discharge bacterial cells into system. These bacteria cause potential failures in product and process.

  • Pseudomonas contamination in water distribution system.
  • Burkholderia in pharmaceutical products.
  • Legionella in Cooling water system.
  • Escherichia coli in drinking water
  • Bacillus
  • Salmonella
  • Shigella
  • Escherichia coli
  • Coliforms
  • Pseudomonas aeruginosa
  • Burkholderia cepacia complex test (BCC)
  • Bile Tolerant Gram-Negative Bacteria
  • Listeria monocytogenes
  • Legionella pneumophila
  • Vibrio cholerae
  • Vibrio haemolyticus
