Initially, microorganisms present in the samples are isolated and cultured using appropriate media and incubation conditions to obtain pure cultures. Subsequently, a combination of techniques such as microscopic examination and biochemical tests are applied for accurate identification inside of our dedicated microbiological labs.

Automated systems such as our matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF) are increasingly used for rapid and accurate identification. Visit our Microbial Identification via MALDI-TOF page to learn more about our rapid Microbial Identification testing service for your pharmaceutical products and medical devices.

The results then are analysed and interpreted by our qualified microbiologists. And we provide our clients with detailed documentation of procedures, results, and any deviations from acceptance criteria are maintained for regulatory compliance and quality assurance purposes. Corrective actions are implemented in case of microbial contaminants or deviations to mitigate risks and ensure product safety.

Product Integrity

Ensures the integrity of pharmaceutical products by identifying and controlling microbial contamination.

Regulatory Compliance
