Process

We collect medical device product samples from batches of manufactured or reprocessed medical devices and process them in a sterile environment within our microbiology laboratory to provide a cost effective, reproducible and reliable bioburden estimates for the device/product samples. The samples are prepared according to standard microbiological procedures taking in account sample volume,  dilutions, plating methods/parameters, and incubation parameters. The plates are enumerated and a final report is generated for the particular sample based on the clients requirements and specifications.
