Our Probiotic & Fermentation Microbiology Testing services ensure the safety, viability, and functional integrity of your fermented products and dietary supplements. Whether you’re validating probiotic claims, assessing fermentation quality, or meeting global regulatory requirements, we provide precise, accredited results.
What We Test For
- Total Viable Probiotic Counts (CFU/g or CFU/mL)
- Strain Identity Verification via qPCR
- Lactic Acid & Other Fermentation Metabolites
- pH and Acidity Trends during shelf-life
- Spoilage Risk (yeasts, molds)
- Pathogen Screening and Antibiotic Resistance markers
Typical Matrices
- Fermented Dairy (yogurt, kefir)
- Non-Dairy Beverages (kombucha, vinegar)
- Fermented Vegetables (kimchi, sauerkraut)
- Probiotic Supplements (capsules, sachets)
- Prebiotic/Synbiotic Products

Our lab employs both culture-based and molecular tools:
- Plate Count Techniques on selective/non-selective media
- Strain-specific qPCR for identity confirmation
- HPLC or titration for organic acid quantification
- Standard protocols for pH and acidity
- Enumeration of spoilage fungi on specialized agar
- ISO-based or PCR-screening for antibiotic resistance genes
Compliance & Accreditation
- Compliant with ISO, AOAC, USP, FDA BAM standards
- Conducted in ISO/IEC 17025-accredited facilities
- Results reported as a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with interpretive comments and batch traceability
Leading food testing laboratory ensuring safety and quality in the food industry.
