Microbial Analysis — TPC, Yeast & Mould, Pathogens (Third-Party Lab, On-Demand)

Confirm the microbial safety of your botanical. This on-demand service tests your selected botanical product — whether whole herb, powder, extract, or other botanical material — for total plate count, yeast and mould, and key pathogens (such as E. coli, Salmonella, and S. aureus), the standard indicators of microbial quality for botanical materials.

Testing is carried out by an independent, NABL-accredited (ISO/IEC 17025) third-party laboratory. Microbial load is a core quality and shelf-stability parameter, and an accredited result gives you impartial documentation for formulation, food/nutraceutical requirements, or export.

What you receive:

• Total Plate Count and Yeast & Mould Count, reported in CFU/g
• Presence/absence results for the specified pathogens
• The analytical methods used
• A report tied to the specific batch/lot your product is drawn from

How it works:

1. Add this service to your order alongside your chosen botanical product.
2. We arrange sampling and submit the batch to our partner accredited laboratory.
3. You receive the analytical report by email once testing is complete.

Turnaround: 12-14 business days from order confirmation. This is a made-to-order analytical service, so a short lead time applies.

Please note: Results pertain to the specific batch/lot tested and to the specified microbial parameters. This service reports analytical measurements and does not constitute a health, therapeutic, or efficacy claim.
