For Bacillus Cereus, Clostridium Perfringens, Enterococci, Escherichia Coli, Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, Salmonella, Shigella, Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio cholerae, and Vibrio parahaemolyticus.

Quality and Shelf Life of any product depends on the type of packaging, shelf life, presence and nature of micro-organisms contained in a particular product. Under favorable conditions micro organisms present proliferate and result in loss of product quality. Microbiological monitoring is an essential part of quality control where Lucid labs helps product evaluation / testing and certification.

Fruit and Vegetable products are tested for the following tests: Standard Plate Count, Coli forms/ Faucal Coli forms, Psychrophilic and Thermophilic Organisms, Aerobic and Anaerobic Spore Formers, Sulphite reducing Bacteria, Yeast and Moulds.

Clean Rooms / Clean Air Devices, Operation Theatres and Intensive Care Units in Hospitals, Hotels, Restaurants, Food Processing / Packaging Areas, Storage Godowns are monitored for Microbiological Load (Bacterial and Fungal).

Water Purifiers (Based on UV-Disinfection, Ozonization, Ion-exchange and Membrane Filtration) and water filters are checked for anti-microbial efficiency against number of challenge organisms like E.Coli Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Micrococcus luteus. Similarly filters like candle filters based on Nanotechnology are also evaluated for their efficacy in removal of micro-organisms. Nano-technology based water purifiers may show efficacy even while working on Nano-scale (one billionth).

Industrial / Consumer / Pharmaceutical / Herbal / Cosmetic Products are evaluated for anti-microbial effectiveness as per EN/ASTM/USP/EP products. Challenge microorganisms include gram positive and gram negative bacteria, spore formers, yeasts and molds.

Phenolic and Non-Phenolic type disinfectants are tested for their germicidal value as per National and International Protocols.

Testing of Consumer Products, Electronic and Building Materials for Mould Growth Test / Resistance to Fungi and Bacteria, Corrosion.

Protocols (in-house/sponsored), customer supplied procedures, National Standards Methods (IS/PFA/FSSAI) and International Standard Methods like ISO/CODEX/BAM/AOAC/AOHA/ASTM/EN.
