Micro Testing
CALC Provides Following Microbiological Services as Per Procedures:
Microbiological quality evaluation against prescribed specification limits for water,food and agri products, ready to eat foods, herbal materials, biofertilizers, probiotics, nutraceuticals, nutritional supplements, cosmetics, drugs and pharmaceuticals. Evaluation of the antimicrobial protection/preservative effectiveness of cosmetic and consumer products, disinfectant efficacy. Evaluation for resistance to microorganisms of industrial and building materials, electronic items, polymers and insulation materials,rubber,textiles and fabrics,duck cotton fabric.
The purpose of microbiological testing should be to identify and restrict harmful microorganisms, which can spoil foods, and ensure safety from food borne diseases. Microbiological monitoring of food processing and packaging plants, storage godowns and indoor air monitoring of workplace like cleanrooms, hotels, restaurants, hospitals for bioburden for bacterial and fungal load Evaluation of raw materials and finished products for microbial load, indicator organisms, pathogens and investigation for microbial spoilageEvaluation for water purifiers, candle filters, nanotechnology based filters and devices.
