Microbial Bioburden Testing

Microbial bioburden testing involves measuring the amount of harmful or unwanted microorganisms, such as bacteria, yeast, or mold, present on a product or surface. This testing ensures that medical devices, pharmaceuticals, or other products meet safety standards by verifying they are free from potentially infectious microorganisms. The process typically involves collecting samples, growing any microbes present in a controlled environment, and counting them to assess cleanliness and sterility. It is a critical quality control step to prevent infections and ensure products are safe for use.
