Bacterial Identification and Testing

When it comes to protecting consumers, federal guidelines are very strict and specific. No consumer product can contain high levels of microbial contaminants. If the product does, its manufacturer must find a way to reduce these agents either by removing them from the final product or removing them from the raw ingredients used in the product. Bacterial identification, done by putting a product through various tests, is the first step in eliminating these organisms from items. One specific type of organism that tests look for is the spore forming bioburden, although there are many other types of bacteria that are tested for as well.

What is a Spore Forming Bioburden?

Dynatec Labs offers a variety of services to corporations looking to market new products. One of these to inspect a product in regards to a spore forming bioburden. By first performing a bacterial identification on the product, we can certify your product free of these harmful items. But what is this particular type of bioburden all about? Some bioburdens actual start to form spores in order to survive disinfectant agents, and in some instances can actually be deadly. To eliminate these particular organisms, a product must be cleansed in a sporicidal agent. It's very important to test not only products but also the environment they were created in. Sometimes, you'll find spores growing in your actual facility, which is a sign you may need to completely disinfect and re-establish your facility's sterile status. Preventative measures, such as controlling the contamination of any raw materials and the containers they are stored in, can help prevent a facility from becoming infected.
