Our laboratory’s very first service offering was environmental monitoring. We have been providing expert laboratory support to certifiers, manufacturers, and pharmacies for over 20 years.

We are a FULL-SERVICE MICROBIOLOGY LABORATORY specializing in:

EM PLATE INCUBATION FOCUS will incubate, enumerate, and characterize your EM plates as if they were our own:

• All incubators are mapped and alarmed.
• Immediate notification of alert or action level excursions.
• Ability to isolate and store organisms for future use.

Environmental monitoring (EM) is a program designed to demonstrate the control of microbes in critical areas. This may include clean rooms, glove boxes, biological safety cabinets, laminar flow hoods, filling lines, and others. It typically involves contact plates for sampling surfaces and agar plates within air sampling devices to sample air.

FOCUS provides complete EM support, including:

• Provision of sampling supplies and devices
• Agar plates, swabs, paddles
• Met One particle countes
• SAS Viable Air Samplers
• Training for in house EM
• Incubation, enumeration and characterization of EM isolates
• Identification to genus or species level as required
• Trending data across time.
