The following list details the more typical microbial testing which we can perform, however we are happy to discuss and accommodate any requirement.
|
DIAGNOSTIC SERVICE
|
| Potable water - viable count testing |
| Airconditioning cooling towers - viable count testing |
| Screening of water samples for faecal contaminants |
| Determination of bacterial load on synthetic materials |
| Evaluation of the efficacy of antimicrobial agents |
Methods used include agar diffusion, minimum inhibitory concentration and the EMPA standard analysis methodology when the microbial contamination is impregnated into fabrics.
The department also operates a NATA certified Leptospirosis clinical diagnostic service.
