Microbiological Testing
Overview
Once your sample is received, it will be scanned into our laboratory information management system(LIMS) and updated in Metrc. Your sample will be labeled and safely stored in our secure temperature controlled locker until scheduled testing begins.
Our automated homogenization and sample prep process greatly reduces test variability and human error not only through precision robotic movements, but by tracking your sample through our sophisticated software, while uploading results in real time.
The sample will be prepared as one sample – Aliquots run using PCR as Detect/ Non detect for E.Coli and Salmonella, followed by Aliquots using culture plating for Total Aerobic Plate count, Total Enterobacteriaceae, Total Coliform, Total Yeast and Mold
Upon test completion, your results will be verified by one of our qualified team members. Your certificate of analysis (COA) will be promptly updated and emailed to you, while the batch is updated in Metrc.
