Viable particles analysis in air and surfaces
Critical to ensure microbiological quality in critical manufacturing environments
At MCI we stand out for providing cutting-edge analytical services, and one of our pillars is the analysis of viable particles in air and surfaces.
This service is essential to ensure microbiological quality in critical manufacturing environments, such as those in the medical device, pharmaceutical, and food industries.
Viable particle analysis involves the recovery of microorganisms present in the air and various surfaces. We use specialized culture media such as TSA (Soybean Casein Digest Agar) or SDA (Sabouraud Dextrose Agar) to encourage the selective growth of bacteria and fungi. These media provide a conducive environment for the development of viable microorganisms, allowing for their precise identification and quantification.
Our approach is based on international standards, in particular meeting the requirements of ISO 14698 and BS EN 17141. This analysis is crucial to meet the criteria of the environmental monitoring program, ensuring compliance with established regulations and standards for the industry. ISO 14698 and BS EN 17141 set out guidelines for the control of biocontamination in controlled environments, and our viable particulate service ensures clients meet these critical standards.
Adapted selection of culture media for the analysis of viable airborne particles.
