May is a big month for Microchem! In addition to launching our new OTC lot release testing service, Microchem now offers dietary supplement testing services.
The dietary supplement industry has grown significantly in recent years, driven by increasing consumer awareness of health and wellness, as well as a growing preference for preventive healthcare.
With the increased demand for dietary and nutritional supplements comes a need for reliable, accredited labs that understand and comply with dietary supplement GMPs.
Microchem offers routine microbial testing methods for finished products and ingredients, as well as customized methods for higher-volume manufacturers.
Our dietary supplement testing suite includes the following methods:
- USP <2021>: microbial enumerations for total yeast and mold, bacterial, and enterobacterial counts
- USP <2022>: pathogen detection for Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella species, and Clostridia species
- Combined USP 2021/2022 validated analog
- Preservative challenge tests for liquid dietary supplements
- Suitability assays
- Microbial identification services
- Tests for specific pathogens such as Listeria monocytogenes.
We are eager to support and collaborate with businesses in this industry. Reach out to our laboratory to discuss your specific needs.
