Tailored surface and air analysis
Surface and air testing
We offer a comprehensive range of microbiological and chemical tests for surface and air samples, tailored to meet your needs. Our services are designed to ensure high accuracy and reliability, allowing you to monitor and assess the quality of surfaces and air environments with confidence.
Our services for surface and air testing
Our broad range of tests to detect microbial contamination, include:
Our TVC testing helps to measure the total number of viable microorganisms present on surfaces or in the air. This test is crucial for determining the overall microbial load in controlled environments, such as clean rooms, food processing areas, or healthcare facilities.
Testing for yeasts and moulds is vital for environments where fungal contamination can affect air quality or product integrity. We use Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA) plates to detect and quantify these microorganisms, which can be harmful to health or product quality.
Legionella testing is essential for maintaining water safety in environments such as cooling towers, hot tubs, and HVAC systems. Our specialised tests for Legionella pneumophila and other Legionella species help identify and mitigate the risks of Legionnaires' disease caused by these bacteria.
We provide comprehensive testing for harmful pathogens, including E. coli, Clostridium perfringens, and Enterococci. These bacteria are often used as indicators of faecal contamination, and their presence in water or on surfaces can signal potential health risks.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a particularly dangerous pathogen that can cause infections, especially in vulnerable populations. Our testing services for Pseudomonas species ensure that your environment is free from these harmful microorganisms, which can be found in both air and surface samples.
