Microbiology Analysis

A microbiological assay is a biological test that measures a compound's potency by figuring out how much is required to have an impact on the test organism.

Enumeration determines the total quantity of microorganisms in a given volume, while viability analysis determines what fraction of those cells are alive or active.

Antimicrobial and potency testing evaluates how effectively an antibiotic or active compound inhibits microorganisms, or confirms whether a drug batch meets strict biological strength standards.

Classical microbiology focuses on growing live cultures or observing cell phenotypes, Molecular Microbiology analyzes the genetic material (DNA/RNA), proteins, molecular pathways and identification of microorganisms.
