Universal Research Laboratory

Microbiology II

Microbiology for Food, Water, Air & Soil

As a leading Water and Environmental Testing Laboratory, our microbiology division delivers advanced microbial testing for food products, drinking water, groundwater, air quality, soil, and environmental samples. These tests help industries ensure safety, hygiene, compliance, and protection from harmful pathogens. Our laboratory follows strict standards such as ISO, BIS, APHA, FSSAI, and CPCB to deliver accurate and reliable microbial analysis.

We support industries including food & beverages, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, hospitality, agriculture, packaged water, environmental monitoring agencies, and manufacturing units.


Our Microbiology Testing Capabilities Include:


1️⃣ Microbial Load (Total Microbial Count)

Assessment of total microbial population to determine overall contamination, spoilage levels, and hygiene status of food, water, air, and soil samples.


2️⃣ Total Coliform

Used to evaluate sanitary quality, contamination from organic matter, and general microbial presence in water and food.


3️⃣ Fecal Coliform

Indicator of contamination from human or animal waste—critical for drinking water, packaged water, and food products.


4️⃣ Escherichia coli (E. coli)

Detection of pathogenic and non-pathogenic strains for water safety, food quality, and environmental hygiene.


5️⃣ Salmonella spp.

A major foodborne pathogen; tested for regulatory compliance and consumer safety in food and water.


6️⃣ Shigella spp.

Critical testing for contamination linked to dysentery and foodborne infections.


7️⃣ Pseudomonas spp.

Assessment for spoilage organisms and opportunistic pathogens in water, food, and soil.


8️⃣ Vibrio cholerae

Required testing for waterborne diseases and food products like seafood.


9️⃣ Clostridium spp.

Detection of anaerobic spore-forming bacteria—important for canned foods, soil, and environmental samples.


🔟 Streptococcus spp.

Monitoring of pathogenic species in food, water, and clinical-adjacent environments.


1️⃣1️⃣ Staphylococcus spp.

Critical for identifying food poisoning risks, surface contamination, and hygiene issues.


1️⃣2️⃣ Legionella pneumophila

Testing for Legionella in cooling towers, water storage tanks, pipelines, and HVAC systems.


1️⃣3️⃣ Total Fungal Count

Assessment of fungal contamination in air, food, soil, and water.


1️⃣4️⃣ Yeast & Mold

Important for spoilage detection in food, beverages, and environmental samples.


1️⃣5️⃣ Candida albicans

Testing for pathogenic yeast contamination in water and environmental surfaces.


1️⃣6️⃣ Aspergillus niger

Detection of allergenic and toxigenic mold species in food, air, and Soil.


1️⃣7️⃣ Total Aerobic Count

Measurement of aerobic microorganisms affecting product stability and hygiene.


1️⃣8️⃣ Total Anaerobic Count

Assessment of anaerobic microbes in soil, food products, biosolids, and wastewater.


🦠 Parasite Testing

We also test for parasitic contamination that affects water safety and human health:

  • Giardia

  • Cryptosporidium

  • Protozoa

These pathogens are crucial indicators for drinking water, packaged water, food processing industries, and environmental monitoring.
