Pharmaceutical Microbiology
Microbiology is an important area of research for the pharmaceutical industry. Microbiology becomes vital due to widespread involvement of microbes in various diseases. Subsequently, development of vaccines to diagnostic medical devices is directly or indirectly determined by microbiological studies.
Drug quality, safety and efficacy are the most important aspects of microbiological testing of pharmaceutical products. The presence of any pathogenic bacteria, yeasts, moulds or bacterial toxins produced by microorganisms is strictly regulated to ensure minimal or zero risk.
At the microbiology testing laboratories at Precise Analytics Lab., we conduct antimicrobial effectiveness testing of pharmaceutical products strictly as per pharmacopoeia guidelines and using high-technology resources. Our microbiological testing lab is well equipped with Clean Room Partition, Air Handling Unit, Laminar Air Flow, Biosafety Cabinet, Deep Freezer, and more, to perform a wide range of microbiological testing.

Food and agricultural microbiology
In a world filled with microbes, species varying from beneficial to harmful to lethal for humans, there are ample opportunities for food products to be contaminated "from farm to fork".
To ensure safety of food products, microbiological tests such as testing for pathogens and spoilage organisms are required. Through this, the risk of contamination under normal use conditions can be examined and food poisoning outbreaks can be prevented. Testing of food products and ingredients is important along the whole supply chain as possible flaws of products can occur at every stage of production.
Our well equipped microbiology testing lab and well qualified, experienced microbiologists ensure accuracy and reliability of results. We carry out the following microbiological tests in food products and ingredients across standard parameters recognised worldwide.
