Microbiological Laboratory
GMP certified
Quercus GMP microbiological laboratory is able to test the microbial quality of raw materials, and pharmaceutical finished products:
- Microbial count (TAMC & TYMC)
- Exclusion of specified pathogens
- Efficacy of microbial preservation (PET)
- Microbiological assay of antibiotics
- Bacterial endotoxin test (LAL test)
- Particulate matter (visible and subvisible particles)
- Water for pharmaceutical use (TOC and conductivity analysis)
- Growth promotion testing of culture media
- Suitability and validation of microbiological tests
- Environmental monitoring (air, compressed gasses and surfaces contamination)
Purified water analysis and air sampling
Additional QC support
At Quercus, we conduct pharmaceutical challenge testing e.g. Antimicrobial Effectiveness Testing known as Preservative Efficacy Test (PET) to substantiate preservation adequacy against microbial contamination which may occur during storage and use.
If needed, we can assist you with cleanroom qualification and monitoring. We have active air sampling equipment and Quercus QC Engineers can come to you to take samples. If guidance is needed on best practices for air sampling, compressed gas monitoring, etc…. we are here to help!
