Our Standard Methods
USP <2021> Microbial Enumeration Tests for Nutritional and Dietary Supplements
- Total Aerobic Microbial Count (TAMC) (USP <2021>, <61>) – Measures total culturable bacteria contained in a sample.
- Total Yeast and Mold Count (TYMC) (USP <2021>, <61>) – Estimates total number of viable yeast and mold present in a sample.
- Enterobacterial Count (Bile-Tolerant Gram-Negative Bacteria) (USP <2021>) – Similar to TAMC but detects bacteria microbes that thrive in an anaerobic environment.
USP <2022> Microbiological Procedures for Absence of Specific Microorganisms
- Pathogen testing (USP <2022>, <62>) – Qualitative test for presence/absence of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella species, Clostridia species, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, fungal organisms.
- Expanded capabilities include real-time PCR-based testing for various pathogens and contaminants – qPCR (TPC, TYM, GNBT, Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp., Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus aureus).
Microbial Toxin Assays
- Mycotoxins (Aflatoxins) – LC/MS/MS method capable of quantifying B1, B2, G1, and G2 Aflatoxins to USP <561> levels.
- Bacterial Endotoxin Test – Quantifies endotoxins (lipopolysaccharides) from gram-negative bacteria using Low Endotoxin Recovery (LER) (USP<85>).
- β-D-glucan Detection – Quantifies β-D-glucan (fungal cell wall component) – colorimetric or turbidimetric analysis.
Additional Assays
- Microbial suitability testing (USP <2021>, <2022>).
- Antimicrobial Effectiveness Testing (USP <51>) – Challenges preserved products with a variety of microorganisms representing a broad spectrum of contaminants.
