Reduce Fungus and Bacteria with help from MicroStar Microbiology Laboratory
The prevalence of antibiotic resistant strains of infections has become a problem that requires vigilance in all types of situations. Many different environments could prove dangerous not only to individuals with compromised immune systems, but for those of us who are generally healthy. In order to reduce the instance of infection, it makes sense to your customers, now more than ever, to know that your materials have been tested by a qualified microbiology laboratory.

MicroStar has the experience and the testing capabilities to demonstrate the antimicrobial properties of your productsMicroStar Lab originally started out as a facility that tested paint, paper and building materials. They've since evolved into the premier testing lab for all types of industries, putting their extensive expertise to use by testing many different types of products and materials. Their world-class facilities and their precision in performing the industry standards provides consistent, reliable and reproducible results.
In addition to bacterial testing, MicroStar still provides testing for the paper and paint industries, specializing in microbiological control in the manufacturing process. Troubleshooting of these complex industrial environments is one of their specialties, not only determining the sources of contamination but solutions that will eliminate the reworking of off-spec material.
Antimicrobial testing of both textiles and coated surfaces is performed with the reproducibility needed to provide the confidence necessary when it comes to proving that certain materials will stand the test of time. These tests include standard methods from ASTM, ISO, MilStd, RTCA and JIS. They will even perform older versions of many methods if that is the specification your products need to meet.
The study of bacteria and fungi is a vast undertaking, but one that MicroStar Lab handles with ease. Their expert scientists have years of experience handling the most common forms of testing, as well as uncommon testing protocols, depending on the needs of a particular client. Customized standard tests are available, in addition to on-site audits and microscopic analysis. Fungus-resistance tests are not easy since temperature and humidity must be controlled within very narrow margins. Working under aseptic conditions is also critical to preventing cross contamination of organisms from one customer to another. They have determined that the cleanliness that is found in the clinical microbiological laboratory must exist in the industrial microbiology laboratory in order to produce meaningful data for their customers. That's why so many of their customers keep coming back and new customers are often referred by those satisfied customers.
MicroStar microbiology laboratory is accredited to perform a full range of testing for many different applications. We take for granted that airborne pollutants, fungi and bacteria will not harm us, and we do not realize how much work goes into the testing to make sure our risks are minimized. Having an experienced partner like MicroStar will ensure that the job gets done right, with testing that will unearth any issues before it is too late to fix them.
