ISO Certified Microbiology Laboratory for Medical Device Testing

Comprehensive Range of Laboratory Testing Services

Our accredited facility provides end-to-end microbiological analysis, environmental surveillance, and product sterility validation tailored for overseas OEMs and healthcare exporters.

Microbiological Analysis

Rigorous microbial identification, aerobic/anaerobic culture evaluations, fungal analysis, and total viable count assessments for medical materials and finished products.

Bioburden & Sterility Testing

Pre-sterilization bioburden quantification, recovery efficiency validation, and product sterility testing conducted according to USP & ISO standards for sterile device release.

Bacteriostasis & Fungistasis

Crucial validation confirming that test samples do not inhibit microbial growth during sterility assays, ensuring true non-false-negative sterility assurance results.

Chromogenic Endotoxin Testing

Quantitative LAL kinetic-chromogenic bacterial endotoxin testing (BET) to detect pyrogenic contaminants on medical implants, single-use devices, and biopharmaceuticals.

Environmental & Cleanroom Monitoring

Active air microbial sampling, passive settle plates, surface swab sampling, particle counts, and cleanroom disinfection validation for ISO 5–8 environments.

Water & Dialysis Water Testing

Comprehensive microbiological and chemical purity analysis of purified manufacturing water systems, WFI, and specialized hemodialysis water quality testing.

Aging & Stability Studies

Real-time and accelerated environmental shelf-life testing per ICH guidelines to evaluate package seal integrity, material degradation, and physical stability over time.

Packaging Integrity & Sealing Services

Bubble emission testing, dye penetration, seal strength peel testing, and sterile barrier performance validation to protect medical items throughout global transit.

AAMI Quarterly Dose Audits & E-Beam

Execution of ISO 11137 bioburden determination and quarterly dose audits to verify radiation sterilization (E-Beam / Gamma) dose effectiveness and sterility assurance levels (SAL 10⁻⁶).
