Microbiological Analysis
Rigorous testing for pathogens and spoilage organisms to safeguard consumer health and extend shelf-life.
Microbial Testing That Protects Your Brand
Bacteria, yeast, and mold can silently damage product quality and consumer trust. Aurora provides precise microbial testing for food, supplements, and cosmetics to confirm safety, meet regulatory limits, and prevent costly recalls.
The Challenge: Detecting Invisible Risks
Microbial contamination can occur at any stage of production, often without visible signs. Aurora helps companies identify and eliminate these risks before they reach consumers or disrupt market approval.
Why Microbial Testing Is Critical
Pathogens such as Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria are major causes of recalls in food and supplement products. Even low levels of contamination can make products unsafe for consumption and damage brand credibility.
Stricter Global Standards
Regulators and retailers now require verified microbiological data for most ingestible and topical goods. Without third-party test results, products can face shipment delays, rejected listings, or compliance holds.
Hidden Sources of Contamination
Bacteria and fungi can develop in raw ingredients, shared equipment, or packaging materials. These sources often go unnoticed until products fail shelf-life testing or customer complaints arise.
Aurora’s Role in Prevention
Aurora detects microbial risks early through validated laboratory methods that deliver reliable results quickly. Our testing ensures that your product meets safety standards before it leaves the facility.
