Microbiology
Our microbiology laboratory team has extensive knowledge of analysing food, water and environmental samples using a wide range of microbiological techniques.
Food and Environmental Microbiology
Ensuring microbiological food safety is an essential requirement for any food manufacturer. Our microbiology laboratory team has extensive knowledge of analysing food and environmental samples using a wide range of microbiological techniques.
Some of the tests offered are:
- Salmonella Species
- Listeria Species including Listeria Monocytogenes
- Bacillus Cereus
- Coagulase-positive Staphylococci including Staphylococcus Aureus
- Clostridium Perfringens
- Total aerobic colony count
- Escherichia Coli
- Enterobacteriaceae
- Enterococci
- Lactic acid bacteria
- Yeast and mould
- Vibrio
Water Microbiology
The environments in which we work, live, and socialise can contain hidden health risks. It is, therefore, extremely important to identify potential risks and monitor them regularly. Our water microbiology laboratory has extensive knowledge of analysing waters from, for example, cooling towers, closed water systems, swimming pools, hydrotherapy pools, surface/irrigation water, and drinking water.
Some of the tests offered are:
- Legionella Species
- Total aerobic colony count at 37oC and 22oC
- Coliform Species
- Escherichia coli
- Pseudomonas Aeruginosa
- Pseudomonas Species
- Sulphite Reducing Clostridia
- Enterococci
- SRB
- NRB
