Bacteria, Yeast, and Fungi Identification/Microbial Characterization

Sanichem now offers microbial characterization services to our customers. We can identify bacteria, yeast and fungi using miniaturized biochemical test kits and microscopy. This is a more economical approach compared to genotypic methods such as PCR and sequencing. Therefore, we can offer a more competitive price.

 

Samples that require microbial characterization may include:

• Bioburden samples

• Environmental monitoring isolates

 

ISO 11737-1:2018 necessitates the need for microbial characterization of bioburden samples to detect changes in the product bioburden which in turn may affect the sterilization process.

​

Understanding the microflora of your samples or environment will provide information on the sources of contamination and how to eliminate them.
