Microbiology Testing Services

Our food microbiology testing services help manufacturers, processors, and brand owners ensure products meet food safety, quality, and compliance requirements. We perform both qualitative and quantitative microbiological testing to support food safety plans, environmental monitoring programs (EMP), and quality assurance systems across the food supply chain.

Through our strategic collaboration with Food Safety Net Services (FSNS), ANALYZETESTING LABS supports food microbiology testing across a broad laboratory network, providing consistent data and dependable turnaround times for food manufacturers.

ANALYZETESTING LABS utilizes advanced rapid-testing technologies to support efficient and accurate pathogen detection while maintaining regulatory compliance. These platforms enable faster decision-making without compromising data integrity.

Rapid testing methodologies include industry-recognized systems equivalent to:
VIDAS • BAX • GENE-UP • iQ-Check • MDS • VIP

Microbial toxins testing helps identify toxins produced by microorganisms that may pose health risks to consumers and impact product safety. These tests are essential components of food safety and quality programs.

Microbial Toxins Testing includes:

• Staphylococcal Enterotoxins
• Bacillus cereus Diarrheal Enterotoxin
• Ochratoxin A

Qualitative microbiological testing detects the presence or absence of pathogenic microorganisms in food products. These tests are critical for regulatory compliance, environmental monitoring, and food safety verification.

Qualitative Testing includes:

• Campylobacter spp.
• Cronobacter sakazakii
• Escherichia coli O157:H7
• “Top 6” Non-O157:H7 STEC
• Listeria monocytogenes
• Listeria spp.
• Salmonella spp.
• Shigella spp.
• Staphylococcus aureus
• USP <62> Testing
• USP <2022> Testing

Vibrio spp.

Quantitative microbiological testing measures microbial levels to support hygiene monitoring, shelf-life evaluation, and quality control programs. These tests help manufacturers monitor process control and ensure compliance with internal and regulatory specifications.

Quantitative Testing includes (but is not limited to):

• Aerobic / Anaerobic Plate Counts
• Yeast and Mold Counts
• Coliform Counts (Total & Fecal)
• Generic Escherichia coli Counts
• Bacillus cereus
• Clostridium perfringens
• Enterobacteriaceae Counts
• Lactic Acid Bacteria Counts
• Psychrotrophic Counts
• Spore Counts
• Pseudomonas spp.
• Staphylococcus aureus
• USP <61> Testing
• USP <2021> Testing

• ANALYZETESTING LABS provides microbiology testing services for cosmetics, OTC drugs, and dietary supplements to verify product safety, efficacy, and regulatory compliance. Our testing supports manufacturers throughout product development, stability studies, and commercialization.

  Capabilities include:

  • Microbial Limits Testing (Bioburden)
  • Pathogen Detection
  • Microbial Identification
  • Preservative Effectiveness Testing (PET)
  • Water Testing

  USP and Compendial Testing
  

• We perform microbiological testing in accordance with USP <60>, <61>, <62>, and <71> requirements to ensure compliance with microbial quality and sterility standards.

  Sterility testing is conducted in controlled environments using membrane filtration or direct inoculation methods to verify the absence of viable microorganisms in applicable products.

• ANALYZETESTING LABS offers a wide range of additional microbiology testing services to support specialized product requirements and quality programs.

  Additional services include:

  • Antimicrobial / Antifungal Testing
  • Challenge Studies
  • Preservative Efficacy Testing
  • Probiotic Testing
  • Kill Rate Studies
  • Mold Testing
  • Microbial Identification
