Microbiology, chemistry, and diagnostic testing are just a few of the services provided by specialised testing labs like AssureCloud. These services are vital to the regulatory compliance, quality assurance, and safety of products in a variety of industries. Using such extensive testing capabilities has several advantages and improves productivity, accuracy, and dependability when evaluating the integrity and safety of items.
When determining whether different samples contain microorganisms such as bacteria, fungus, viruses, and parasites, microbiology testing is essential. In order to detect possible microbial contaminants in food, water, medications, cosmetics, and environmental samples, testing is essential.
Techniques for microbiology testing used by specialised labs such as AssureCloud include:
Pathogen Detection: To identify and measure pathogenic bacteria including Salmonella, Listeria, E. coli, and Campylobacter, AssureCloud uses sophisticated microbiological techniques like polymerase chain reaction (PCR), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and culture-based approaches. If these organisms are found in consumable products, they can result in foodborne diseases and pose serious threats to public health.
Indicator Organism Analysis: Microbiology testing laboratories also carry out analyses to evaluate the general hygienic and microbiological quality of goods and surroundings. Indicators of faecal contamination and total microbial load, such as total coliforms, faecal coliforms, and generic E. coli, are tested for in this process.
A wide range of analytical methods are used in chemistry testing to identify and measure the chemical constituents, impurities, and residues present in different samples. Testing is necessary to make sure that regulations are followed, evaluate the quality of the product, and spot any potential risks.
Services for chemistry testing provided by specialised labs such as Assurecloud include:
Chemical Residue Analysis: Assurecloud uses methods like gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to identify and measure environmental contaminants, heavy metals, pesticides, antibiotics, and mycotoxins in food, agricultural products, and environmental samples.
Nutritional Analysis: To ascertain the nutritional value and composition of food products, nutritional analysis is carried out in chemistry testing facilities. For labelling and quality control, this entails quantifying macronutrients (including proteins, lipids, and carbs), micronutrients (like vitamins and minerals), and other nutritional factors.
As part of diagnostic testing, particular microorganisms, biomarkers, or genetic markers linked to illnesses, infections, or genetic disorders are found and identified.
Specialised labs such as AssureCloud provide the following diagnostic testing services:
Molecular Diagnostics: Assurecloud uses next-generation sequencing (NGS), polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) as molecular diagnostic methods to find and identify pathogens, genetic mutations, and biomarkers linked to genetic disorders, infectious diseases, and other medical conditions.
There are many advantages to using specialised testing labs like AssureCloud, which provide thorough chemical, microbiological, and diagnostic testing services. Among them are:
