Bacteria Testing: Surface Samples
Bacteria surface culture 3-Genus ID
Analysis of culturable bacteria on surfaces, waters, and bulks. The service includes identification, to the genus level, of the three prevalent colony types found on the culture to assist in interpretation of data.  More details...
Bacteria surface culture 5-Genus ID
Analysis of culturable bacteria on surfaces, waters, and bulks. The service includes identification, to the genus level, of the five prevalent colony types found on the culture to assist in interpretation of data.  More details...
Bacteria surface culture gram stain and counts
Analysis is a quantitative bacterial assessment including calculation to cfu/unit. Multiple dilutions are prepared and plated on one media type (TSA w/o blood).  More details...
Bacteria surface culture thermophilic actinomycetes
Analysis includes identification of thermophilic actinobacteria (actinomycetes).  More details...
Endotoxin analysis
Endotoxins are large and complex toxic molecules of polysaccharide, lipid A, and other cell wall components of Gram-negative bacteria. Analysis consists of a quantification of endotoxin amounts in environmental samples employing a Limulus Amebocyte Lysate reaction.  More details...
Fecal Coliform,Total Coliform, E. coli-P/A
In this qualitative analysis, environmental samples such as swabs, water, dust, etc. are grown in culture with metabolic indicators to detect the presence/absence of coliforms. If coliforms are presence, the culture is further analyzed to detect E. coli and fecal coliforms. Fecal coliforms are distinguished by their ability to grow at increased temperatures suggesting pathogenic potential  More details...
Heterotrophic plate count
A procedure for estimating the live heterotrophic bacteria in water, and other materials. The heterotrophic plate count gives an estimate of the bacterial load on or in a water/material.  More details...
Hydrocarbon Degrading Bacteria
Analysis of water, waste water, and soil samples for culturable bacteria that have the ability to catalyze the degradation of hydrocarbons found in the environment. Selective media specific for detecting hydrocarbon degrading bacteria is used to evaluate the ability of microorganisms to decompose hydrocarbons.  More details...
Iron bacteria-P/A
Direct microscopic examination of bulk and water samples for the presence or absence of iron bacteria.  More details...
Legionella pneumophila culture
Legionella testing and analysis is performed on waters (cooling tower, public supply, etc.) by culturing, using a variety of methods depending on the sample collection source. Legionella samples are plated onto differential and selective agars for quantitative analysis. Legionella testing by non-viable methods can lead to cross reactions of the antibodies with other organisms and false positives. Legionella, are then confirmed by various identifying characteristics recommended by the CDC.  More details...
Membrane filtration standard
Analysis of waters and other matrices using the membrane filter methodology described in The Standard Methods for the Examination of Waters and Wastewaters 20th edition sections: 9222B, 9222D, 9222, 9230C, 9215D, 9213E, and 9213B.  More details...
MF-Sewage screen
Samples are prepared according to sample type and analyzed for the indicator organisms, E. coli and members of the Enterococcus group (a subgroup of Streptococcus) associated with fecal and/or sewage contamination. Data are reported semi-quantitatively, indicating the relative amounts of E. coli and Enterococcus species in the sample. This analysis may be coupled with a sewage clearance after cleaning or treatment to help determine the efficacy of the remediation processes.  More details...
MPN-Clostridium perfringens
Quantification of Clostridium perfringens using the Most Probable Number (MPN) method. The method is applicable to a wide range of matrices, including soils, waters, sewage, biosolids, bulks, and surfaces. Method references are the Standard Methods for the Examination of Waters and Wastewaters, and the FDA Bacteriological Analytical Methods (BAM)  More details...
MPN-Salmonella
Quantification of Salmonella species using the Most Probable Number (MPN) method. The method is applicable to a wide range of matrices, including soils, waters, sewage, biosolids, bulks, and surfaces. Method references are the Standard Methods for the Examination of Waters and Wastewaters, and the FDA Bacteriological Analytical Methods (BAM)  More details...
MPN-Standard Bacteria
Quantification of bacterial parameters using the Most Probable Number (MPN) method. The method is applicable to a wide range of matrices, including soils, waters, sewage, biosolids, bulks, and surfaces. Method references are the Standard Methods for the Examination of Waters and Wastewaters, and the FDA Bacteriological Analytical Methods (BAM). Soil samples for sewage screen: E.coli and Enterococcus can be analyzed by this method.  More details...
MPN-Sulfate reducing bacteria
Multiple Tube Fermentation (MTF) analysis of liquids and solids for the presence and enumeration of Sulfate Reducing Bacteria. Sulfate Reducing Bacteria can be found in many waters and are responsible for indirect anaerobic corrosion of iron under the proper conditions.  More details...
MRSA culture
Isolation and identification of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Samples are plated on non-selective, nutrient agar to cultivate viable bacteria. Bacterial isolates are screened for Staphylococcus aureus. Any suspect S. aureus colonies are further isolated and analyzed for antibiotic resistance to methicillin.  More details...
QuantiTray-sewage screen
Analysis determines the presence of Coliforms, Escherichia coli, and Enterococci as well as enumeration of these organisms using the IDEXX test kit. IDEXX Enterolert and Colilert reagents are added to sample dilutions. The resulting solution is added to QuantiTrays and incubated. Trays are read after 24 hours and results reported.  More details...
Salmonella-P/A
Presence or absence of Salmonella bacteria.  More details...
Sulfate Reducing Bacteria-P/A
Presence or absence of Sulfate reducing bacteria.  More details...
Total Coliform, E. coli-P/A
Analysis includes confirmation of E. coli by MUG testing.  More details...
USP 797-Media Fill Test
The Media Fill Test procedure is taken from U.S. Pharmacopeia General Chapter <797>. This testing is used to assess the quality of the aseptic skill of compounding personnel. The media filled containers are incubated for a minimum of 14 days at 35 degrees Celsius. Following incubation, Positive/Negative results are reported for visible turbidity.  More details...
