Microorganism Identification

In the investigation of possible microbial contamination, QA and QC processes would benefit most from rapid and accurate Microorganism Identification, sourced from products, materials or the environment. Microorganism Identification at species level is mandatory for microorganisms detected in grade A zone and grade B area according to Annex 1 V12.

At QACS Lab we perform accredited (ISO 17025, GMP) Microbial Identification at species level using DNA technology or matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight (MALDI TOF MS). Recognized as the most reliable for the classification of microorganisms, MALDI TOF or DNA identification presents a reliability advantage over other methods e.g. APIs that are metabolic or other immunochemical methods. Identification includes bacteria, yeasts and fungi. The team of our expert Molecular Microbiologists has processed more than 50.000 environmental samples and have over 30 years of experience on microbial identification.

Furthermore, a distinctive feature of QACS Lab is the inclusion of not only the accurate micro-organism species name but also comprehensive details on its ecology, classification, growth conditions, and potential pathogenicity.

We assist you resolve the causes of microbial contamination, through investigation of the microbiological origin and analysis of the deeper causes upon request. Proceed to Pharmaceutical Quality Control and benefit from a 24-hour transportation service across the EU, ensuring timely assistance even outside Greece.
