Bioburden Testing

EMSL Analytical, Inc. provides bioburden or total viable count testing, referring to the measure of microbial contamination levels on or in a product, surface or within a liquid. 

Bioburden can be introduced from the raw materials used in the manufacturing process or be introduced via the workforce or manufacturing environment. Ingredients and process steps will have bioburden limits in accordance to specific industry standards. 

This testing acts as an early warning system for possible production problems that could lead to inadequate sterilization. 

At EMSL, we can perform regular assessments of bioburden as a part of your quality control system under standardized procedures or tailored to your specific needs.
