Pharmaceutical Microbiology Testing
Microbiological testing plays an important role in the production of pharmaceutical
drug substances and drug products.
Pharmaceutical microbiological testing is essential for patient safety as the
patients consuming the medicines might already be in a compromised position and
easily susceptible to infections.
Arbro’s pharmaceutical microbiology testing ensures that the raw materials used in
drugs match the standard quality requirements before they are processed in the
production environment.
Our microbiologists also validate the methods used for testing finished products as
well as monitor the quality of air and water from the microbiological perspective.
Pharmaceutical Microbiology Testing Services
We provide pharmaceutical microbiology testing services to manufacturers of both sterile and non-sterile pharmaceutical products and substances. Our laboratories are well equipped and carry out all the required microbiological testing for pharmaceutical industry including –
Microbial Limit Tests:
Microbial contamination testing is performed for non-sterile products in which harmonised pharmacopoeia or client-supplied methods are used that determine the bioburden within the sample.
Total Bacterial Counts:
Total bacterial count indicates the number of microorganisms present in a sample. The number of microorganisms should not be greater than the specified guide values that are expressed in CFU (colony-forming units) per gram or milliliter.
Total Fungal Counts:
It indicates fungal count present in a sample. Monitoring this is important to know about the fungal contamination in pharmaceuticals.
Detection of Pathogens:
Detection of pathogens in pharmaceuticals finished products and raw materials is important for the safety and well-being of the consumers.
