Microbiology

The Microbiology Laboratory is a part of the Accredited Testing Laboratory No. 1004 and has been operating as part of the ITC since the year 2003. Professional services are focused primarily on product microbiology rather than on medical microbiology. The subjects of investigation are e.g. foods and bottled drinking water, commonly used items, textiles, plastics, rubber, cosmetics, aqua purificata, etc. The results are utilised in the assessment of the quality, safety and health of products marketed in the EU.
