Microbial Organism Identification
Microorganisms identification to the species level is a key task of our microbiology testing laboratory. We have invested in the most advanced system in the marketplace to provide our customers with reliable and fast organism identification services. Our MALDI Biotyper uses a molecular-based mass spectrometric identification method that enables faster and more efficient analysis than conventional assays or sequencing.

MEDIA FILL ANALYSIS

Aseptic processing operations should be validated using a microbiological growth medium in place of the product. This process simulation, also known as a media fill, is used to measure the aseptic skill of your compounding personnel/manufacturing personnel.
The Quantus Microbiology Laboratory has the ability to analyze media fill samples in compliance with USP <797> and FDA guidelines. Additionally, our lab is able to perform growth promotion testing utilizing compendial organisms to confirm media suitability.
USP <55> Biological Indicator Testing
The Quantus Microbiology Laboratory can test and perform qualitative analysis of biological indicators in compliance with USP <55>. Incubation and analysis is based on the carrier organism and manufacturer instructions.
