Microbiological testing of medical devices

Microbial cleanliness is an important factor in assessing the safety of medical devices, as the presence of microorganisms, such as bacteria, yeasts, and molds, can endanger the health of the user. Measurlabs offers microbiological analyses for medical devices and healthcare products according to internationally recognized standards. The following are just a couple of examples of our most popular services in the field:

Both ISO 11737-1 and 11737-2 are harmonized standards listed in the Annex of Commission implementing decision (EU) 2021/1182. This means that devices that are compliant with the standards can be presumed to comply with the EU Medical Device Regulation (EU) 2017/745.

We also offer biocide efficacy testing for evaluating the effectiveness of antimicrobial treatments used to disinfect medical device materials. You can request more information and a quote for testing from our experts.

Shelf life testing for prepared meals

Microbiology testing of food and cosmetics

In food testing, microbiology analyses are used to screen products for bacteria like Salmonella, E.coli, and S. aureus, along with other microorganisms. In addition to contaminant analysis, microbiological tests are employed to determine the shelf life of food products.

Shelf life studies are based on monitoring the presence of microorganisms in the product at different stages of the estimated shelf life. The results help establish the use-by or best-before date, which can then be displayed on the packaging in accordance with EU food labeling requirements.

With regard to cosmetics, microbiological quality is one of the properties that need to be assessed to ensure the product's compliance with the EU Cosmetics Regulation. Measurlabs offers microbiological quality analyses for cosmetics according to European Pharmacopoeia methods EP 2.6.12 and EP 2.6.13.
