Custom Studies: Design, Execution, Statistical Analysis (GLP/GMP/GCP optional) tailored to meet your specific needs in biomanufacturing services. Our expertise spans Microbiology & Cell Biology, including Bacteriology, Mycology, Virology, and Mammalian Tissue Culture. We also offer AMR Research, focusing on Antimicrobial, Antiviral, and Antimycotic Efficacy, as well as Biofilm studies, among others.
In the realm of Molecular Biology & Biochemistry, we provide comprehensive consulting services for DNA/RNA/Protein/Lipid extraction and purification. Our capabilities include qPCR, RT-qPCR, ELISA, and HESKA, with Next Gen Sequencing available. Additionally, we offer advanced techniques such as GC, HPLC, MS, and MALDI, along with imaging services, all as part of our contract research offerings.
Standard Tests
Antibacterial (vegetative, spores) & Antifungal (yeast, molds) are critical areas in biomanufacturing services, particularly when considering Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST). This classic broth microdilution assay measures the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of antimicrobial agents and determines whether a given microbe
Antibacterial (vegetative, spores) & Antifungal (yeast, molds) are critical areas in biomanufacturing services, particularly when considering Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST). This classic broth microdilution assay measures the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of antimicrobial agents and determines whether a given microbe is Sensitive, Intermediate, or Resistant (S, I, R).
In addition, Hard Surface Efficacy Testing is essential for evaluating the effectiveness of liquid sanitizers, disinfectants, or antimicrobials. The Quantitative Carrier Test (QCT), based on ASTM E2111 and E2197, demonstrates log CFU reductions achieved by these agents.
Textile Testing is another important aspect, where microbial growth on porous materials treated with biocidal agents is assessed in comparison to untreated controls. This testing follows AATCC TM30, AATCC TM100, and ASTM E3227 standards.
Sterilization Efficacy Testing also plays a significant role in biomanufacturing and consulting services, demonstrating the efficacy of a given sterilization method against appropriate indicator organisms (e.g., Geobacillus stearothermophilus for steam sterilization, Bacillus atrophaeus for ethylene oxide), as per ASTM E1766.
Moreover, in the realm of anti-biofilm research, Minimum Biofilm Eradication Concentration (MBEC) testing evaluates the MBEC achieved by liquid sanitizers, disinfectants, or antimicrobials against biofilms of relevant organisms grown on polystyrene pegs. This assessment can be semiquantitative (based on turbidity) or quantitative (based on log CFU reductions), making it suitable for both high-throughput screening and formal product registration.
The Biofilm Surface Test Protocol (BSTP) further enables the assessment of biofilm growth and/or microbial induced corrosion on materials of interest, evaluating the antibiofilm efficacy of coated or modified surfaces as well as liquid sanitizers. Assessments here can also be semiquantitative or quantitative, following ASTM E3435.
In the antiviral domain, Suspension Testing provides a quantitative assessment of virus inactivation achieved by liquid sanitizers, disinfectants, or antivirals in suspension, typically using log reductions in Tissue Culture Infectious Dose (TCID50). This is applicable for various viruses and host cell lines, as per ASTM E1052.
Lastly, Hard Surface Testing offers a quantitative measure of virus inactivation on hard surfaces, again using log reductions in TCID50, and follows ASTM E1053 standards. These methodologies represent the forefront of biomanufacturing services and contract research in ensuring safety and efficacy.
