Microbiological testing of products is synonymous with a safe product. Each link in the supply chain should follow high hygiene standards so that the end recipient can be sure of the product’s safety.
We offer microbiological tests of dietary supplements, herbs, raw materials and pharmaceutical products with reference methods and according to the Pharmacopoeia. For selected types of products, we offer quick tests (TEMPO, BAX) with the results ready after 24 hours.
Our test portfolio includes:
- Mesophilic aerobic bacteria,
- Moulds and yeasts (fungi),
- Escherichia coli,
- Coliform bacteria,
- Stapchylococcus aureus,
- Salmonella,
- Listeria monocytogenes,
- Enterobacteriaceae.
We offer the determination of probiotic bacteria in probiotics:
The number of Lactobacillus spp, Bifidobacterium, Streptococcus thermophilus.
Physicochemical testing of dietary supplements provides the necessary information on the product’s composition, the presence of micro and macroelements, vitamins, impurities (e.g. the level of heavy metals, pesticide residues, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons or dioxins) and additional substances. Thanks to testing, you can check whether the product meets the legal requirements of a market, regarding the content of impurities and/or the limits for active substances.
We offer physicochemical analysis for dietary supplements, herbs and vegetal raw materials. The tests we perform include:
- pyrrolizidine and tropane alkaloids
- protein
- dry weight
- humidity
- fat
- capsule/filling weight
- acid number and fat number
- net weight
- sugars
- dietary fibre
- nutritional value.
Using modern equipment and instrumental methods, we determine:
- vitamins B content, including folic acid
- vitamins A, E, D3, K content
- vitamin C content
- content of mineral ingredients: chromium (Cr), zinc (Zn), tin (Sn), phosphorus (P), cobalt (Co), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), molybdenum (Mo), potassium (K), selenium (Se), sodium (Na), calcium (Ca), iron (Fe), silicon
- fatty acid profile, including Omega 3, DHA, APA
- aminoacids
- polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)
- heavy metals: cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), arsenic (As)
- pesticide content
- mycotoxins: aflatoxin B1, B2, G1, G2, M1, ochratoxin A, deoxynivalenol, zearalenone.
