At ITC Labs , we recognize the critical role of microbiological testing in ensuring the safety, quality, and compliance of products across industries. Our microbiology lab, spanning 3000 sq. ft., is meticulously designed to conduct advanced microbiological tests with precision and accuracy, ensuring the health and safety of the end-users.

We offer tailored testing solutions to meet regulatory compliance requirements, validate shelf-life claims, and address extended shelf-life assessments for manufacturers.

Why Choose ITC Labs for Microbiological Testing?

We are one of the renounced microbiological testing labs in India with multiple testing and collection centres across the country. We are known for our cutting-edge infrastructure with fully equipped microbiology lab and Air Handling Units (AHU). Our laboratories have dedicated areas for microbiological limit testing (MLT), sterility, and biosafety (BSC). The controlled testing environment are safe guarded with airlocks and dynamic pass boxes. The strong access control and biometric entry system prevents unauthorized entries.

Alongside, our laboratories are facilitated with the most modern equipment such as incubators with continuous temperature monitoring, vertical autoclave with printer capabilities, UV cabinets, and binocular microscopes with image capturing, and more. The testing services are fool proofed with GMP-compliant doors and epoxy flooring

One prominent factor that makes us the industry leader is our qualified team of experts with years of experience in microbiological testing. Our highly educated and experienced team of experts performs tests following wing rigorous testing protocols to ensure uncompromised accuracy. The microbiological lab also has an in-house library of over 48 microbial strains, including bacteria, yeast, and fungi.

At ITC Labs, we follow a customer-centric approach with an automated operational management software E-Labs LIMS. The advanced software enables transparent tracking for timely confirmation and result delivery within the allotted time.

Scope of Microbiological Testing

Microbiology is one of the prominent fields of science that enables the studies of the tiniest organisms not visible to human eyes. At ITC Labs, we understand the significance of an all-encompassed microbiological lab; hence we offer testing on a diverse range of products:

  • Food Products: Milk, cereals, spices, beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic), honey, jams, and more.
  • Water Testing: Packaged drinking water, mineral water, borewell water, WFI (Water for Injection), and wastewater.
  • Pharmaceuticals: Pharmaceutical products such as Syrups, Tablets, Capsules, API’s, Injectables, etc.
  • Medical Devices: Testing for general safety, electrical safety, EMI and EMC compliance and other regulatory standards. il
  • Cosmetic Products: Checks for quality parameters, heavy metals, phthalates, preservative (parabens, sulphates), 1,4 dioxane, and more.
  • Environmental Samples: Surface water, STP inlets/outlets, and swimming pool water.

We adhere to national and globally recognized standards such as IP, BP, USP, EP, IS, and ISO methodologies to assure authentic and reliable test results.
