Microbial Testing | PPB Analytical Inc.

Why Conduct Microbiology Testing?

Safety and sanitation are paramount to almost everything that matters. Microbial testing is important across many industries, including: construction, waste and water management, natural health products, and nutraceuticals. Environmental testing for microbial contamination can provide peace of mind for the handling of generated wastes and for your operations. Water testing can keep businesses on the path to success by pre-emptively addressing the risks associated with disease-causing bacteria, yeast and molds, biological pathogens, and other toxins.
