Microbiological analysis is required and necessary for contamination detection and maintaining high- quality standards. Healthcare facilities, prisons, food handlers and restaurants, laboratories, blood processing centers, and other industries benefit from environmental monitoring, water tests, and other test methods. Microbial testing is the first line of defense against disease-causing bacteria and toxins and supporting public health.

Every day, we come into contact with microorganisms. While many are harmless, some can cause severe illness or contaminate sterile environments. Microbial testing is necessary and required by many industries worldwide, where human health is at risk of being adversely affected by biological pathogens, disease-causing bacteria, and other toxins.

In order to reduce contamination and illness, it is important to identify threats to your home and workspace. There are a wide range of contaminants and microbial growth that can be found in food products and water, but also on surfaces and in the air.

Examples of microbial threats are:
• E. Coli
• Staphylococcus aureus including MRSA
• Pseudomonas aeruginosa
• Candida (yeast)
• Aspergillus species (mold)
• Streptococcus pyogenes (strep throat)
• Klebsiella pneumonia
• Haemophilus influenzae
• Neisseria meningitidis
• Other bacteria, yeast and molds and parasites
