Environmental

We offer a range of tests for monitoring the environment and hygiene of your facilities. These include the analysis of direct air sample plates, settle plates and contact plates, as well as glove prints. We also test a range of swabs. Analysis is tailored to the expectations of cGMP and the pharmacopoeias or Environmental Health Agency expectations, as applicable. We can supply swabs, contact plates and exposure plates (with or without neutralisers) if required. Members of our team are available to discuss your environmental testing program and can make on-site visits to advise on your specific needs, perform sampling or even train your operators in sampling procedures. All test methods are based upon ISO, USP or Environmental Agency standards, and can be adapted and validated to suit specific sample types.

E&O Diagnostics are able to test cosmetics samples using standard methods or customised tests appropriate to your specific requirements. Challenge testing can also be performed under standardised conditions to verify the efficacy of your preservative systems. For further details please contact us.

We have completed projects for a number of industries in the past, testing samples including soils, composts, effluent and sewage. If you require microbiological testing for any industrial application please contact us to discuss your requirements in more detail.
