Microbiological Testing Services
Start with the product and the question: do you need a count, a presence-or-absence result, or a defined molecular target?
Culture-based services are organized as quantitative enumeration and specified-organism detection. Molecular work, including qPCR, is discussed separately for each target and application.
A microbiology result is the end of a controlled chain—from the representative test portion through recovery, observation, confirmation, and reporting.
Begin with the result you need
A count, presence-or-absence result, and molecular signal answer different questions.
Culture-Based Enumeration Methods
Quantify viable microbial populations through plate-count and selective-media methods, with results and specifications matched to the product and reference procedure.
Explore Enumeration MethodsCulture-Based Detection Methods
Evaluate specified microorganisms using a defined test portion and method-specific culture workflow, with custom not-detected specifications available from 1 g when suitable.
Explore Detection MethodsMolecular techniques, including qPCR
qPCR and other approved molecular techniques can be scoped for a defined target and application when the assay, controls, matrix, preparation or enrichment, and interpretation basis are confirmed.
