Microbiology Testing

Microbiology testing services are a crucial requirement across many industries worldwide where products, pro- cesses and human health are at risk of being negatively affected by the presence and breeding of micro- organisms such as specific pathogens, bacteria, yeast and moulds.

Test Parameters

E.Coli, Total / Fecal Coliform

Enterococci

Legionella pneumophila

Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Cryptosporidium / Giardia

Heterotrophic plate count

Mycotoxin Testing

Each year, significant economic losses of food product occur due to fungal contamination, most notably mold spoilage. Often working in combi- nation with yeast and bacteria, molds are essen- tial in the production of numerous indigenous fermented foods and are heavily used in industri- al processes to produce organic acids and en- zymes. Under certain conditions, however, some molds may produce mycotoxins, which are toxic to man and animals health

MYCOTOXINS

• Aflatoxins B1/Total
• Aflatoxin M1
• Fumonisin B1, B2, B3
• Ochratoxin A
• Deoxynivalenol (DON)
• Zealarenone
• T-2 toxins
