PCR MICROBIOLOGY ANALYSIS

At ETL laboratories we offer expert services in the areas of microbiological analysis. Samples are analyzed with methods approved by the Association of Official Analytical Chemists and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Our microbiology laboratories offer both traditional methods and modern methods for your testing needs. We offer rapid pathogen detection methods using PCR, ELFA (Enzyme Linked Fluorescent Assay) Phage and immuno concentration technology. Our laboratory also provide a variety of test methods for indicator organisms such as: direct plate count, Most Probable Number (MPN), and PetrifilmTM. Our staff can advise you on which method best suits your commodity and preferred turn-around-time.

​

​

At ETL, we are proud of our extensive microbiology services. Our advanced technology and equipment allows us to test for presence, absence or numbers of microbial organisms. Because we understand the importance of microbiology testing and the negative effect the presence of microbes can have, we are flexible with our clients in order to comply with their specific needs.

​

Our analytical team is also highly experienced and trained in conducting food testing. With a HACCP certified team, we can provide our clients with credible and accurate results while following FDA food safety regulations and procedures.
